Gramma Kille's German Apple Pie.

(1/3) > >>

Sammconn:
Well, I'm going to share a recipe with yall that I have not shared but one time.

This is a very rich, treat to say the least.
It followed me from my younger years some 20 ago when I was a cook in a restaurant.

This recipe makes three pies. It's a lot of work so I go big when I make it.
Make crust per directions on shortening. Half a pound, half the recipe does three 9-10" crusts.

Filling:
8 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/3 cups sugar
3 large eggs
4 cups sour cream (full strength)
3 tsp vanilla
8 cups diced apples (call for Granny Smith, but I've used all of them)

Mix all together into a bowl of sweet goodness.
Fill three shells 3/4 or so full. It grows as it cooks, as long as it's under the rim some you're good to go.
Place in a 400• oven for 30-40 minutes.
Drop temp to 350• and cook another 20-30 minutes.
Remove from oven, add crumble topping and return to 350• oven for 20 minutes or so.
It's done when the crumble topping starts to brown.

Topping:
2 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon (more or less to taste)
3/4 cup butter

Mix dry ingredients working any lumps from brown sugar.
Add butter in, and work with your hands until the butter is spread throughout, and it sticks together in little chunks when squeezed.
When the time comes, squeeze it and crumble onto pies to cover.

They are now 20 minutes in the oven. More to come.

Sammconn:
So here are the empty pie shells.



The bowl of filling. It's just wrong how good it tastes even at this stage.



And the filled shells.

Sammconn:
In the oven for the long haul.



Once they go in, you have a half hour or better to make the crumble topping.

Here it is, ready for application.

Sammconn:
And now we wait for time to pass.
I'll snap a few more along the way of the various stages of cooking.

rasimmo:
I will be making that soon. I just finished eating, but no desert to be had. Perfect timing my friend.
