Home Made Apple Pie ?????

odds-n-sods

I wouldn't add any water; you will have soup inside! just a little sugar + butter, cinnamon if you like it. You can make turnovers with puff pastry, just roll it a little thinner, cut out squares, then put your cooked apple filling inside, fol 1 corner into the other so you get a triangle shape and use egg to hold the edges together.

thanks odds-n-sods but needs to be a pie as have got people coming for lunch at it is for pudding.

so just peel cut and put them in a pan and cook with a little sugar and butter. i think i can do that.

When making apple pie, I dont; cook the apples at all. (but then I hardly ever use cooking apples) Peel em, cut em up and put them in the pastry. if you're using puff pastry, dont do a bottom crust, the grease will be disgusting, just do a top one. 2 apples won't be enough, either I suspect, unless you are making a really small pie, I usually use about 8.

8 oh my god. i'll have to get OH to get some more on his way home then.

thanks ods-n-sods.

do you have any other fruit you could add, either fresh or frozen?

odds-n-sods

Yup, other fruit works, rhubarb, even raisins will work.

no i don't like mixing my fruit. its ok tho as the apples must have been big as they have filled the pie plate nicely.

thanks for all your help. xxxxx

How about making a kind of open apple tart on the puff pastry? Lots of internet recipe examples like ... this one...

They look great as well as being delicious.

P.S. If I were cooking this recipe today I'd stick some ground cinnamon on it too (if you have it). Lovely.

Hiya,

Just wanted to pick your collective brains for nice simple apple pie recipes which work!

I'm usually a pretty good cook, though I say it myself! I'm great at apple crumble, but DH wants a pie, and I have to confess that mine never turn out that well.

Got a few windfalls left from a bag from his mum's garden.
Got plain flour, various sugars, cooking marge, etc.........
Cooking in a gas oven, so gas mark for temp would be really helpful!

Thanks all in anticipation!

FE.

Hi Fary Elephant,

There's an earlier thread with some recipes that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.
