What a gorgeous day here in PA. The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. I have been having a great time doing laundry, hanging my sheets out on the line, cleaning, cooking, and baking. I just pulled this yummy pie out of the oven a few minutes ago. There is nothing like a fresh pie with ice cream to brighten any day.
Apple pie that has a crumble top is my favorite kind of pie. I just love the delicious brown sugar topping, and it goes so well with a little ice cream!
I laid the pie on a table in front an large open screened set of doors to cool. Once cooled though, I am going to put it in one of my pie keepers. Do you have any pie keepers to store your homemade pies? They are really just decorative bottoms and tops. The bottom is used to bake your pie, and when it has cooled you put the top part on to store it. This one has little houses and the saying, "Home Sweet Home."
I just picked up a cherry lattice pie keeper this weekend from TJ Maxx. This is my favorite one right now. I even leave it out on my stove for decoration. Somehow it just makes the stainless steel stove a little more homey. I just love that old fashioned look. Enjoy your day and enjoy a little pie! Hugs, Amy
Country Fair Apple Pie
9-inch pastry shell, unbaked, chilled (or you can make one from scratch, which I did)
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 soft butter
6 cups peeled, sliced cooking apples
1/2 granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine flour, brown sugar, salt and butter. Blend until crumbly then set aside. Combine apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Mix gently to coat apple slices. Pack apple mixture into chilled crust. Sprinkle crumb topping over apples.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until apples are tender, about 50 minutes.
Serve this apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
