Apple Pie Filling Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling Ingredients
For the apple pie filling you need:
5 Tart Peeled Apples
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

First Step: Slice Apples
Peel and slice your apples.
Soak them in water with a tablespoon of lemon juice. This will prevent the first apple cut from.

Second Step: Mix Filling
Mix in large mixing bowl:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vinegar

Once you have finished mixing these ingredients together, they should resemble the picture to the left.

Third Step: Mix Apples
Now, drain the water off of the apples and mix them with the spices.

Now that you have finished the filling, it is time to assemble your pie.

Now that you have made the pie dough and apple filling, let's put this pie together! Make sure your pie crust has been at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator before assembling the pie.

Apple Pie Crust
First Step: Cut
Now that your pie crust has had plenty of time to cool, divide it into two, equal halves.

Second Step: Rolling Pie Crust
Roll one of the balls of pie crust out until it is around 1/8th of an inch thick.

Third Step: Putting Crust in Pie Pan
Once you have rolled out the dough, wrap it around the rolling pin and unroll it onto your pie pan.
Once you have shaped it to fit the inside of the pan, take a fork and poke holes in the bottom of the crust. This will let the steam out as the pie bakes.

Four Step: Filling Apple Pie
Dump all of the apples in the pie. Place about 4 chunks of butter on top of apple filling. This will give the filling rich flavor.

Fifth Step: Putting Top Pie Crust On Pie
Ok, we're almost done!
Roll out the remaining pie dough and place it on top.

Six Step: Forming Edge of Pie Crust
Create a pattern around the edge of the pie by using the back of a knife.

Let's bake Our Apple Pie!
hint: Poking holes in the top of a pie usually keeps it from overflowing, but I find that this pie does better without them.

We're almost done. Don't worry, baking an Apple Pie is not the hardest part, but letting it cool before eating it is!

Tinfoil
First Step: Baking Apple Pie
Cut long strips of tinfoil and place them around the edge of the pie.
This will prevent the crust's edge from burning while it bakes. You will want to take the tinfoil off about ten minutes before the pie is done. This way, the apple pie will have a golden brown edge.
Bake your pie at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Apple Pie
Second Step: Brush With Egg White
For a glossy effect, brush a small portion of egg white on top of the crust when you remove the tinfoil.

One of the best accommodations for a slice of apple pie is a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It adds a coolness to a warm slice of pie. Whipped cream could also add flavor to this treat.
