Walt's French Apple pie
List of ingredients..
1 can of WHITEHOUSE sliced apples.
1/4 cup brown sugar.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 table spoon all-purpose flour.
1/2 tea spoon cinnamon.
1/4 teaspoon of salt.
1/4 tea spoon nutmeg.
2 tea spoons REALEMON lemon juice.
2 table spoons of butter.
1/4 cup of SUNMAID raisins.
4 table spoons of confectioners sugar.
3 aluminumn foil strips, 2 inches long X the width of the foil box.
DIRECTIONS..
Once you open the can of apple slices, leave the lid
laying in place, then hold
upside down over the sink and with your fingers, squeeze
all the juice out of
the can , as much as you are able. ( the dryer the
slices, the less wet your pie
will be ). In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine
all ingredients, ( except
for the butter, the confectioners sugar and the aluminumn
foil). Prepare the pie
plate by taking a bit of dry flour and smear inside
bottom & walls of same.
Then put crust into plate, forming it as usual. Pour
in ingredients and dot with
the butter ( approx. 1/4 tea spoon per dot ). Cut
slits in top crust and apply to pie,
trim crust to fit plate, and wet a fork, ( often )
as you use it to flange together
the two crust edges. Then I like to spread a
little EXTRA butter with the back
of a spoon onto the top of the top crust, (
it adds a golden look, and terrific
flavor to the crust ). To keep the edges of the crust
from burning black, take the
three strips of aluminumn foil and fold them around
the edge of the pie, ( making
sure they overlap and cover the entire edge. ) Bake
in 425 degree oven for 40 - 45
minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
When the baking is done, you can take the confectioners
sugar in a cup, slowly add
hot water, a half-tea spoon at a time, stirring the
sugar with a spoon, till it becomes
a GLAZE,( like on glazed doughnuts ) when it has the
look that appeals to you,
then spread it onto the crust of the pie (after
removing the foil ).
Let cool....Eat and gain weight to your hearts
content.!!!
