Apple Pie

Apple pie. It's an American classic. There are a million different recipes so how does one know where to begin? Look at the recipe with the word "Best" in the title. (That actually rarely works but I tried this time anyway.)

Best Apple Pie
from Tasty Kitchen

3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp butter
2 pie crusts
1 tsp cinnamon sugar
milk for brushing

1. Mix flour, sugars, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apples and mix well.
2. Line you pie pan with one crust. Add all of the covered apples to the pie pan. Pour the remaining dry mix over the apples.
   
3. Cut up butter and place around the top of the apples.
   
4. Cut vent holes in the remaining pie crust. Place crust over pie and seal the edges. Brush entire crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
   
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes until apples are soft.

With this much cinnamon-sugar and butter, the filling has to be good, right?
This was my very first double crust pie. I used Sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust. It actually went fairly well. I forgot to cut the vent holes until after putting the crust on the pie, but it didn't seem too difficult to do that afterward. I had one rouge apple puncture my crust but that also didn't seem that bad.
The finished product: pretty and delicious. The filling is what sets this pie apart. It's soooo good. It might actually be the best (it's definitely the best I've ever had). Try it.
