And here is a really yummy apple pie I made. The great crust recipe is below.
Really easy double pie crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 C. shortening
5 to 6 Tbsp. cold water
In a large bowl, combine four, baking powder, and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
This makes one bottom crust and enough dough for a lattice top, which is what I made but I had left overs so I am sure you could actually make a full top if you want. It was really easy and really forgiving.
For a full pie brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 bake 40-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Oh! How I wish I was eating treats. That pie looks TO DIE FOR! I can't wait to try the crust out!

Ha- so about the ruffle pillow. I totally forgot that step! I'm so glad you said something! Yeah- you actually sew on the strips using a regular stitch length and sew down the entire strip, attaching it to the pillowcase piece of fabric. I added the directions to the tutorial!
ReplyDeletehaha tell kyle that was a not very nice comment! Braeden used make comments like you need to make new food I'm sick of the same things... so then I started trying new recipes and I like making new things now!
