Candied Apple Pie
Getting reviews...
I like to use a lattice top crust because the red apples show through the crust and make a beautiful presentation. At Christmas I sprinkle green decorating sugar on the lattice crust (any other time plain sugar).
Ingredients
Filling:
9-inch Crust:
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Filling: Place apples, red hots, sugar and water in large saucepan. Bring apple mixture to a boil until red hots and sugar are dissolved (apples should not be completely cooked). Take off heat. Add almond extract and tapioca to mixture. Let cool till room temperature.
- Crust: Using food processor, pulse flour, pecans, salt, butter and sugar together. When you can't see large butter chunks, add water one tablespoon at a time. When dough forms, wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Roll out on lightly floured board. Place bottom crust in buttered pie pan. Spoon room temperature apple mixture into bottom pie crust. Roll out remaining crust.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or all by itself.
