APPLE BLUSH PIE
This is from a cookbook my Grandma gave me when I was 11 . I have no idea what the name of the book is since it lost its cover years ago. For years I have wanted to make this but always forget to buy the cinnamon hearts at Valentines but this year I bought FOUR lage bags to put away and finally made this. We loved it . I crushed some of the hearts and left some whole . Next time they will all be left whole . I think any hard cinnamon candies would work. I can't remember how many cups the five apple came to but I usually add more anyway I like a nice plump pie ( added extra ingredients accordingly) The orignal recipe had no timings but I think I cooked it for about 45 minutes. My oven is really fickle right now so one day it might burn and the next day take forever LOL

GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll 1/2 the short crust pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trim away the excess and crimp the edge.
- Roll out the rest of the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. On a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper weave the strips of pastry into a lattice that will cover the top of a 9-inch pie plate with 1-inch of overhang. Refrigerate the pie shell and lattice for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the apple quarters into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the inside edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Arrange the apples in the pie shell and dab the top with pieces of cold butter. Slide the lattice top over the apples. Press the pastry of the lattice firmly on the crimped edge to seal the 2 together. Brush the lattice with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter and shortening into the flour. Combine the mixture with your fingers until it resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water and mix with a spoon, pulling the water into the flour until a dough forms.
- With your hands, shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten them into disks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
GRANDMOTHER VELMA'S BLUSH APPLE PIE
My grandmother was famous for her Blush Apple Pies. I always asked her to make at least one when we went to visit. I recommend Mean Chef's Classic Pie Crust (#26205), but the refrigerated rolled crusts work too, if you are in a hurry. This is an easy and quick pie, but the flavor added by the pineapple and red hots is wonderful.
