PERFECT APPLE PIE
With a crisp, flaky crust and thick, cider-flavored apple filling, this is my idea of the perfect apple pie.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the pieces of butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture is crumbly with lots of pea and chickpea-size clumps of butter and shortening within.
- Add the water and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and very crumbly. Dump the dough crumbles onto a work surface and divide into two piles, with one pile about 15% bigger than the other (13 oz and 11.5 oz). Make two balls of dough and pat each one into a 5-inch disc. Wrap the discs in plastic and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
- Take the larger disc of dough out of the refrigerator. Dust your work surface lightly with flour and place the dough on top; sprinkle a little flour over the dough. Use your hands to quickly knead the dough into a soft and malleable disc (don't overwork it; you want it just supple enough to roll).
- Roll the dough, adding more flour as necessary under and on top of the dough so it doesn't stick, into a 13-in circle. Carefully drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-in deep-dish pie pan (it should be at least 1½ in deep). Gently fit the dough into the pan, easing it inwards rather than stretching it outwards. Trim the edges to ½ inch beyond the lip of the pie pan. Turn the edges under to create a rim on the crust. Press the rim against the lip of the pan, forming it into an even edge. Use any scraps to patch in any tears or thin areas. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you heat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set an oven rack in the middle position.
- Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and place on a baking sheet (this makes it easy to move in and out of the oven). Cover the crust with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven; remove the parchment paper and beans/pie weights and tent the edges with a few strips of aluminum foil. (The foil will protect the edges from getting too dark.) Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the dough is dry and golden. Don't worry if the bottom puffs up; just press it down gently with a flat spatula, such as a pancake turner, taking care not to puncture it. Let the crust cool to room temperature.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
- Meanwhile, combine the apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Toss until the sugar is dissolved and the apples are evenly coated. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain the apples, collecting the syrupy juice in another bowl. Pour the syrupy juice into a 2-cup microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Take note of the quantity and then heat on high power in the microwave, checking frequently, until the syrup is reduced by half. This will take about 4 minutes but keep a close eye on it as all microwaves are different. You don't want to cook it for too long, or it will turn into sticky caramel (see note below on how to correct this if it happens). The syrup should be just slightly thickened and still pourable. (Alternatively, you can boil the juices in a small pan on the stove.)
- Add the syrup back to the apples, along with the flour and cornstarch; toss to combine.
- Take the other piece of dough out of the fridge and roll into an 11-inch circle, using the same process described above. If necessary, use a little dough to patch up any holes in the bottom crust. Add the apple filling to the baked pie shell, compacting the apples as tightly as possible. (Too many air pockets will cause the crust to dome, creating a gap between the apples and the crust.) Place the rolled dough over top. Crimp the edges with a fork or flute with your fingers, sealing the top and bottom crust together. Work quickly, dusting your fingers with flour as necessary, so the dough doesn't get too warm.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg (or cream or milk). Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top crust. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow the steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before cutting, about 4 hours.
- Note: Be sure to use baking apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji, Granny Smith, or Golden Delicious. And use a mix of different varietals for the best flavor.
- Note: If you accidentally over-reduce the syrup and it seizes up when you pour it over the apples, transfer the apple mixture to a large sauté pan and cook over high heat until the caramel melts. Let cool completely in the fridge before proceeding with the recipe.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months before or after baking it. (If freezing it unbaked, hold off on brushing the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkling it with sugar; you can do that right before baking.) If baked, let it cool completely and place it in the freezer uncovered. When fully frozen, wrap the pie securely in foil and freeze. If the pie is unbaked, wrap it securely in foil and freeze. When ready to serve, proceed with baking instructions above (pie is likely to take a bit longer in the oven).

SPLENDID APPLE PIE
I made this pie for Christmas dinner(2012). If you like your apple pie more tart than sweet you will love this one! You can always use a sweeter apple or add more Splenda. We liked the tartness. My 14 year old granddaughter(who's getting very picky on what she likes) says it's the best apple pie she's ever had! Luv my Bethany!! I hope you like it.

SPLENDALICIOUS APPLE PIE
I love to experiment so tried this pie with Splenda and Splenda brown. My husband will eat half the pie if I didn't stop him in one seating. This is a pie that I use to make with sugar so it works either way. Now I usually just make it with Splenda. I prefer the fresh apples since they are so easy to get and don't take that much...

Steps:
- 1. Place one refrigerated pie crust in greased pie plate. Peel, cut, and core apples. If using a apple cutter/corer cut up wedges into small slices. If not you need to cut the apples like making potato salad into small pieces. Place apples into uncooked shell.
- 2. In small bowl mix, sugars or Splenda and Splenda brown, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg. Sprinkle over the apples trying to cover all of them. Take butter out of freezer and shave thin slices over the mixture using the 2 tbsps. Place second pie crust over apples and press the edges together. You can cut criscrosses or some other design in the edges to fancy it up, but you need to use knife to make cuts in the top of the crust to vent. You can also cut the second crust into strips and place on top criscrossing the strips. I place a cookie sheet under dish to catch any spillage or a piece of tin foil on bottom of oven. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until crust is good and done. Cool. Cut into 8 slices and serve with or without ice cream.
- 3. I have calculated the points for Weight Watchers and it is 7 points per slice. Ice Cream points not included. I have also made this pie with sugar and dark brown sugar and it is cup for cup.
APPLE PIE
I remember coming home sullen one day because we'd lost a softball game. Grandma, in her wisdom, suggested, "Maybe a slice of my homemade apple pie will make you feel better." One bite, and Grandma was right. If you want to learn how to make homemade apple pie filling, this is really the only recipe you need. -Maggie Greene, Granite Falls, Washington

- Put the butter, flour, and salt in the food processor, and pulse lightly just until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add 1/4 cup ice-cold water, and pulse the processor 5 times. Keep adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to gather into larger clumps, processing as you go.
- Using your hands, gather the dough and shape to form 2 separate disks. Place those in a zip-top bag, placing parchment paper in-between to keep them separate. Place the dough in the freezer while you work on the apple pie filling.
- Add sliced apples to a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, stir together cornstarch, sweetener, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Add water and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly; about the consistency of a thick caramel. Then remove from heat and pour the thick sauce over apples, using a rubber spatula to make sure you get all of the sauce out. Gently fold the sauce in so it coats all of the sliced apples.
- Remove one of the dough disks from the freezer. On a floured surface, roll dough out to at least a 10-inch round. Gently lift dough into a 9-inch pie plate, carefully pressing down in the center. Pour apple mixture in, getting as much of the sauce as you can.
