This is the best apple pie I ever made! A series of events could of made it great, who knows,lol!
These were made from local Richmond, VA USA Apples!
Hungry yet for some apple pie? lol!
Start with fresh local apples from your local farmer or farmers market!
Wash them well, although they do not have anything bad on them, local organic produce is awesome!
Chop them up well, I left mine a little big as they will shrink a bit when cooked.
Getting the pie shell ready! I used a Gluten Free All Butter Whole Foods Pie shells! They are divine.
Mix fresh cut local apples, with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbs. Cinnamon, 2 Tbs. Sugar, 6 Tablespoons real butter - Cook on the stove on - medium for about 5 minutes...then let simmer on very low for another 10 minutes.
Stir while simmering, it will have a lot of liquid, this will all go in the pie shell. The pie shell was baked, put fork holes in it for about 6 minutes on 350. Use tin foil for the edges as it won't burn.
I let this cool down for about 15 minutes so it would not be too hot when I pour it in the pan next.
For the topping I mixed 1/2 Cup Gluten Free one to one flour- if you are not gluten free then use your favorite flour. Then I added 1/2 cup Shortbread Gluten Free cookie mix and add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 C. sugar and 1 stick of real butter chilled and cut into very tiny pieces. Using your hands mix them well until a crumble forms. Freeze this for 30 minutes, then take out and put all crumbs on the pie. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour or until it's golden brown. Make sure you keep your edges wrapped in tin foil, your house is going to smell marvelous! This was one of the best pies I ever made. I'm not sure if it's because I left the crumbs freeze, if the apples were amazing extra as they were local, or that I cooked the apples for a bit first. Also, having a cookie like crumble topping just makes this dessert a total hit!
Sometimes we run out of flour like I did and use a substitute like the cookie mix and it turns out extra good!
It's ready to go into the oven!
A
I added Vanilla ice cream and whip cream on top!
I also drizzled a little bit of this sweet agave nectar syrup on top!
Happy Holidays to you & your Family!
Steem On!

Pretty and yummy :Р
Thanks so much! Desserts are pretty yummy and this one is actually mostly organic too, I wish organic foods were not all 3 or 4 times as much in the stores. It's best to get it at a farmers market or they deliver farmers boxes to some areas weekly in RVA (Richmond, VA.
hahaha! Yes, I am- I am thinking this could possible be even better with maybe a little pear or peach with it, I'm not sure! :-) See you in Steem Life!
Hahaha i'm right behind ya.

Thank you! I like cooking up some good food for sure but I like taking the pictures even better, haha! Most all of my foods and desserts are not only Gluten Free - Vegetarian but they also taste like my favorite food to cook which is Soul Food- Southern Foods here in the USA. From Georgia Peach Pie- Apple Pie to Macaroni & Cheese and Fried Tofu tasting like chicken I do it all. Just because someone is Gluten Free and Vegetarian doesn't mean flavor is gone at all. I can alter almost any recipe to a great tasting Vegetarian- Gluten Free Fabulous tasting dish! :-) Visit us in Discord HERE today!

STOPWas delicious, babe! <3 The best damn apple pie ever!
Beautifully delicious Apple pie. Thank you so much for sharing the step by step process. The pictures of both your sons and you look amazing. :)
Thank you so much! :-) Is there a way to be considered for Curie? I love making healthy Vegetarian- Seafood....(like the Whole Foods Salmon I made with Fresh Pineapple, fresh herbs, soy sauce & honey! Pictured below with brown rice) Gluten free Desserts, etc. but it tastes really good like down home Southern Cooking Style! I'm also a photographer of nature and food shots etc. so I try to make the person hungry, lol! I also love nature photography and go to different parks and the river and belle isle here in Richmond, VA USA. It's a gorgeous area to live.
We prefer it with that crumb topping as well. Cant beat the smell of that apple pie baking!
