Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
This was a great pie...once I stuck to the origional recipe. I made the mistake of putting in heavy cream for the water, which totally changed the taste of the pie. I made two pies; one w/ latice and one w/ a crumble topping. The second time I made it, I did it exactly as directed w/ the exception of tossing the apples in cinnamon and 2 tsp vanilla. A big diffrence in the pie is the apples: Granny Smith is too tart w/ no sweetness. All the rest fall apart while baking and doesn't hold its sweetness. The best apples to use are the Golden Delicious green apples; a little tartness w/ sweetness. I also tossed in the sauce reserving a lttle for the topping. I drizzled caramel across the top before placing the lattice. Very good pie. UPDATE: To keep the pie from having juice all over the place, as well as a too juicy pie, add 2 tbsp of quick cooking tapioca to the apple mixture. The pie will hold better.
