Crimson Pie Recipes

PERFECT APPLE CRISP PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Combine 3/4 cup flour, oats, and 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl. Drizzle melted butter over flour mixture; stir until crumbly.
• Pile apple mixture into the pie shell. Scatter crumbly topping over apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples start to soften, about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until apples are soft and topping is browned, about 40 minutes more.

CRIMSON PIE

Steps:

• Coarsely grind orange in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a heavy saucepan. In a small bowl, mix arrowroot with a small amount of liquid from thawed blueberries. Add blueberries, cranberries, sugar and arrowroot mixture to the saucepan. Boil mixture over medium-high heat until thick, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 400° F.
• Roll out one pie crust and place in a pie pan. Fill with fruit mixture. Dot top with butter. Roll out second crust and cover pie. If you have enough crust trimmings, roll out and cut 7 to 8 decorative leaf shapes with a cookie cutter - it makes a pretty effect.
• Brush top crust lightly with milk. Arrange "leaves" on the crust and brush them with milk. Sprinkle a little sugar over top of pie.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325°F and bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack for 1 hour. Serve at room temperature.
