Deep Dish Apple Pie Really Deep


At the request of a fellow zaarian, here is the recipe for our 2005 thanksgiving apple pie - weighing in at 5.85 pounds! we all tend to like our pie on the tart side instead of sweet so i have already adjusted the sugar accordingly. i like to mix my apples (yellow delish, granny smith, jonagold, gala). the pie pan i used was 12 x 4". Note the prep time does not include making of the pastry."

Steps


Prep the lemons and set juice and zest aside.
Peel and slice apples , tossing to mix.
Add the juice and zest.
Mix well.
Stir in sugar , cinnamon and salt.
Pour into bottom portion of prepared pie shell.
Cut butter up into cubes and dot across the apples.
Top with remaining pie dough , cutting slits in top for steam to escape.
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and dashes of cinnamon over top.
Bake in preheated 400f oven approximately 50-60 minutes.
