MOMS APPLE PIE (MAKES 2)
The Pastors wife of the church I attended as a kid had the most wonderful apple pies. She gave her recipe to my Mom. Mom never made something without trying to make it better then last time.

- 6. Loosen the remaining crusts and invert pans on top of the pies. Work slowly so you don't tear the crust. Flute edges with fingers.

- 7. Cut 3-4 slits in crust. (1 inch each)
- 8. Mix the egg white and the two tablespoons of water. Brush entire crust with egg white mixture.
- 9. Sprinkle each crust with 1 Tablespoon of sugar.

MOM'S MAPLE-APPLE PIE

Roll out the bottom dough and place it into a 9-inch pan, leaving 1-inch of pie dough hanging over. Pour the pie filling into the crust.

With a pastry brush, gently brush the half-and-half over the entire top crust and edges and then sprinkle generously with sugar.

Steps:
- For the pie crust: Place the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse once or twice to evenly incorporate. Add the butter and lard and pulse until the fat is broken down into pea-size pieces, 5 to 6 pulses. Add the cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the cold water and pulse to combine. Continue adding a tablespoon of water at a time and pulsing after each addition until the dough just comes together (you may not need the full 1/3 cup water). Remove the dough from the food processor and form a third of the dough (about 9 ounces) into a disk. Form the remaining two-thirds of the dough (about 1 pound) into another disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Remove the dough disks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes to take the chill off.
- For the filling: Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Put the apple slices in a large bowl and stir in the sugar mixture and orange juice. Mix to combine.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the larger disk of dough into a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 10-inch pie dish. Pour the apple filling into the shell and then evenly distribute the butter pieces over the apples. Roll out the second disk of dough into an approximately 11-by-10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into six strips, about 11 inches long by 1 1/4 inches thick.
- Form a lattice top by laying 3 parallel dough strips vertically across the pie. Fold the middle strip of dough in half back over itself and lay one piece of dough horizontally across the middle of the pie, perpendicular to the other dough strips. Fold the original strip of dough back down. Next, lift the other two strips of dough and fold them back over themselves. Lay another strip of dough perpendicular to the folded-over dough pieces. Fold those pieces back down and repeat on the other side with the remaining piece of dough. Trim the dough around the edges of the pie dish so there is no more than a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Fold the bottom crust up and over the edges of the lattice top and crimp the edges together between your forefingers and thumbs. Place the pie on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the filling begins to bubble, another 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 1 hour.
- For the mascarpone whipped cream: Combine the mascarpone, cream and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks and is thick. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (This can be made the day before.)
- Cut the pie into slices and top with the mascarpone whipped cream.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree.
- 2. Prepare crust if making homemade. If using store bought, place bottom crust into pie plate.
- 3. Prepare apples. Peel and slice apples about 1/4 inch thick, place in a medium bowl; add flour, sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, mix and set aside. (taste after they start making juice). I leave these set for about 15 - 20 minutes, then stir again and taste. If the juice is too sour, add some more sugar. It should be somewhat tart.
- 4. Place the bottom crust in pie plate, having some overhang, spoon the apples and juice in. I heap mine; they will cook down, so make sure you have your dish heaped, but not running over. Top with pieces of butter.
- 5. Now, carefully top the apples with the other crust. Fold top crust under the edge of the bottom crust. Use a fork or fingers to pinch the crusts together.
- 6. I brush the top with milk, sprinkle with sugar, and cut several slits to vent.
- 7. Bake at 400 degree F. for 15 minutes; I cover the crust with foil to keep from getting too brown. Make sure you place foil under the pie as it the juices may leak out. Reduce heat to 350 degree F. and bake for another 50 to 55 minutes. I take a thin knife and slide it through one of the venting holes to make sure apples are tender. I made one deep dish and one regular 9 in. pie. You may need to bake a deep dish a few minutes longer, obviously there are more apples to cook.
- 8. Let cool on cooling rack. Cover and refrigerate pie till ready to serve. Cover left over pie and refrigerate.

MOM'S BEST APPLE PIE
Just the way Mom always made it. She passed it on to me, and now I'm passing it on to you. I usually cheat and use ready made crusts, I never use the salt, and I add more pie seasoning and vanilla just as personal preference.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming too mushy.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice to the apples. This will help to keep them from browning.
- Use a sharp knife to slice your apples. This will help to create even slices that will cook evenly.
- Don't overfill your pie crust. You should leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the crust so that the pie can bubble up and expand.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a flaky crust and a tender filling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe for Mom's Apple Pie II is easy to follow and produces a delicious and flaky pie that is sure to please everyone.
