Tired of ordinary old apple pie? Well this fabulous recipe adds a delicious twist to the apply classic. Sliced, unadorned apples are mounded into a pie crust and topped with a lattice crust. Then, just before baking, a sweet, thick sugar syrup is poured carefully onto the crust. An hour later, the apples are tender and fragrant and the crust a glistening brown.

This is a wonderful double-crust pie piled high with fresh raspberries. The berries are sugared and sprinkled with tapioca and cornstarch, and arranged in a prepared crust. Pats of butter go on just before the top crust is added, and then the pie is baked until the juices bubble up and the crust is golden brown. 

Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world! . . . no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples.  

I have made these pies for many years and always get great results and reviews! These pies are not too sweet, and the fresh fruit taste really shines!
