Ingredients
- Serving Size :
- 6 crust. 6 cups apples
- 1 cup apple cider or juice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; ground
- 1 teaspoon butter
Method
- Divide the pastry almost in half and roll out the larger half on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle.
- Line a 9-inch pie tin with the pastry.
- Trim the edge to 1/2-inch beyond the rim of the pie tin.
- Combine the apples, 1 cup of apple cider and the sugar in a 3-quart saucepan and cook, over high heat, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes or until the apples are tender.
- Drain the apples, reserving the syrup.
- Add enough additional apple cider to the syrup to make 1 1/3 cups.
- Return the syrup and apples to the saucepan.
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir until well blended.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture and the cinnamon into the apple mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, then pour the mixture into the pastry lined pie tin.
- Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle.
- Fold the pastry gently, so as not to tear it, into quarters and cut slits in the folds.
- Gently unfold the pastry on to the top of the filling and trim the edge to 1-inch beyond the rim of the pie tin.
- Fold the top crust under the lower crust and form a ridge by fluting the edge of the pie.
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown
- Cool on a wire rack until slightly warm before cutting and serving.
- NOTE: This is the perfect pie to serve with the rich cheddar sauce in this file.
