Apple Pie

Chopping Apples

And now, for the classic apple pie. Apples are a little high in sugar, but we find if we only have small servings occasionally, we can still enjoy apple pie. I like to use Gala apples in this recipe, as they’re softer and sweeter than Red or Golden Delicious. Combine in a saucepan and simmer til softened:

1 Gala apple, chopped in ½” slices                                     ¼ c. honey

1 t. cinnamon                                                                      ½ c. water

Beat separately and mix into apples:

2 eggs                                                                        1 t. vanilla extract

Pour into pre-baked pie shell (made from Basic Pie Crust recipe) and bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Cool and slice.

You could also make a crumb topping by sprinkling a mixture of, say, ½ c. rolled oats, 2 T. honey, and ½ t. cinnamon over the pie before baking. Simply delicious!
