I want to make a home-made apple pie for my dad because we have a bet that I can make it. I'm saying I can, since I made home made cheese cake. He's saying I can't. He wants me to make it from scratch, so I need recipe for the crust and the inside. Anyone have a good recipe?:)Oh and if I win, he said he'll buy me perfume for my wedding day.Yes I do know I can buy premade pie crusts, but our bet isn't for half home made, all the way, including the crust.  |

Add salt and stir in enough water to make stiff dough. Knead slightly together. Chill dough before using. Use 1/3 of pie dough for bottom crust. Roll bottom crust. Lay in pie pan.For the filling: Combine apples, flour, sugar, and cinnamon and mix lightly with spatula.For the streusel: In a small bowl combine together butter, brown sugar, flour, pecans and cinnamon. Layer this mix every so often between apples.Using stainless bowl, begin layering apples slice by slice, slightly overlapping starting at the outside circle of the bowl and working towards the center. Push firmly as the layers build. Round off top layer of apple slices when you reach the top. Put a single layer of sliced apples in the bottom crust.Take the pie pan with the bottom crust in left hand and the stainless bowl of sliced apples in right hand and invert. Put fingertips under edge of bowl to release the air and gently lift off. Press and firm apples and straighten. Add slices of apple to take away sharp edges (so as not to puncture the pie dough). Add slices of apples to top of pie to round off. Add 4 tablespoons of butter pats on top of pie.Roll out top crust using remaining pie dough. Gently place top crust over the mound of apples. Smooth the sides of piecrust towards bottom of pie pulling out on extra crust. Pinch down to seal 2 layers together. Crimp pie for first time. Cut extra crust with the back of a sharp knife. Re-crimp the edges and push towards the pie.Brush with milk and sprinkle sugar rubbing your left hand from the bottom up to evenly spread your sugar.Put 5 steam vents with a small knife towards the upper part of the pie. Do not vent at the top, as it will cause the pie to split open as it bakes.Bake between 350 to 375 degrees F for 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.Let cool for at least 1 hour.Spread warm Caramel Pecan Topping on top of crust beginning at the base of the pie above the fluting and working towards the top.Serving suggestions: Drizzle caramel pecan topping with semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.Cook's Note: To add candied pecans to pie recipe, use 2 cups of candied pecans, 1 cup towards the bottom, 1/2 cup towards the middle, and 1/4 cup towards the top.Caramel Pecan Topping: 2 (12-ounce) cups melted caramel 3 tablespoons evaporated milk 1 1/2 cup chopped pecan pieces Melt caramels completely in microwave.

| Don't use the recipe that calls for six cups of flour for the crust and 24 apples. That recipe is for something like 4 pies NOT one like your question asked for. I have so many recipes that are really good and I've been trying to make the best apple pie in the world and I'm using my family as judges. So far, I haven't reached a consensus on which is the best. However, I'll go ahead and give you my idea on how to start: You do know that you can buy crust already made and ready to go in the pie pan? Right? It's a lot easier that way, but, I've made so many pie crusts that I make my own and here's my recipe: Pie crust for a nine inch pie 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 2/3 cups lard or 2/3 cups plus 2 tbl spoons of shortening 4-5 tablespoons or more of ice water measure dry ingredients in bowl and cut in shortening or lard add the ice water one tablespoon at a time and while mixing it with a fork until the flour combines and leaves the side of the bowl. (don't be afraid to add more water if necessary to combine) Then halve the mixture and push together to combine and let it sit for about five minutes or better put it into the refridg for about half an hour. Roll out the dough for the bottom pie crust. Place into the nine inch pie plate. Meantime, slice about six medium delicious apples or actually any kind except macintosh. Slice into about 1/4 inch slices., add 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinniman and 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, dash about 1/2 tsp of salt. Put the apples into the microwave for about five minutes. Put the apples into the pie plate and cover with your other half of pie dough, slash vent holes in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape. Put a strip of aluminum foil around the pie to within a few inches of center of pie to avoid burning the edges. How do you do that? Just pull off half of the lengh of the aluminum foil you need to go around the pie, tear it carefully in half, join the ends and put around the pie. See! It's easy. Put in 435 oven. Remove aluminum strip after 15 minutes and cook for another 30 minutes. enjoy and good luck Thanks |

There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
