I need a good recipe for homemade apple pie... help?!
6 lg Macintosh apples, sliced
1/2 c Light brown sugar
1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Allspice
1 ts Nutmeg
Crust: If Needed:
2 c Flour
1/2 c Vegetable oil
1/4 c Milk
5 ds Salt
Prepare the crust by mixing the flour, oil, milk, and salt. Separate into
two balls, and put each between 2 pieces of wax paper to roll out, as the
crust will be very flaky. Make bottom crust and place in 8-9 inch pie
plate, depending upon size you want. Preheat the oven to 425 F In a large
bowl, put the apples, sugar, and spices. Cut through with a knife to create
the appearance of chopped apples. Put mixture in pie plate, and dot with a
few pats of butter and a few teaspoons of flour. Roll top crust out, and
put on pie. Slit the pie, and put in oven. Be sure to put a lining
underneath the pie or a cookie sheet as the pie is sure to run over. Bake
at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, and then reduce oven heat to 350 and bake
for 50 minutes or until both top and bottom crusts are brown. Remove from
oven and cool on wire rack.
Prepare the following glaze: 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla
milk to make a glaze While the pie is still hot, brush this glaze ontop of
the pie and be sure that the glaze drips into the slits. Cool, and serve
Also it would be alot easier to get the crust from the store already made.....and to just make the filling....hope it helps. Good luck

I made a pie my family seems to like, but it's not totally home made. And it doesn't make a lot of sense.
I get 6 apples. Depends on the size of the apples how deep my pie is. Make sure they are different types. I like the texture difference in the apples. Make sure you get one of those really tart green ones. Slice them all up and add 1/2 c. each brown and white sugar. Then about 1 tbsp. of apple pie spice and a pinch of salt (don't forget the salt it makes a difference). I like extra pie spice, but my mom isn't a big fan of cinnamon so I keep it here. Taste it at this point. If it tastes good here, it's going to taste good baked. Then add 2 tbsp. of flour to the apples. This is the only finite thing I do.
I buy my pie crust. I take the pillsbury pie crust bottom and wrap it tightly around the sides of the pie pan. Bake at 350 for about 5 minutes on a cookie tray. I let it cool slightly then fill with the apples. Top with about 1/2 stick of cubed butter. I just cut really cold butter in tiny pieces. Then top with the other crust. Wrap the sides with foil paper and pop back in the oven for about 40 minutes. Then I take off the foil paper for about 10 minutes.
Honestly, baking is a science. Most of us aren't scientists. Your latitude, moisture, etc. is going to make a difference in the pie. It's just practice.

I just made this pie yesterday and it came out good!
I took 7-8 apples (depending on size) peeled and cut them in thin slices. Mixed them with half cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons flour, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tsp. nutmeg. I put it into frozen 9' deep dish pie crust but you can use any pie crust you like. I dotted the apples with butter. You can add raisins and walnuts if you like them to the apple mixture. TRY IT!!!!
I made a crumb topping for the top. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour and mixed it with a stick of butter till crumbly. Then put it on top of apples. COVER APPLES!
BAKE at 400 for 50-55 minutes. if crumb topping starts to get dark you can cover with foil towards the end. Then, let it cool for 1 hour and serve with ice-cream or cool whip. Mine came out good!!!!!!
