Even though August has begun I wanted to start at the beginning of the Alphabet. Charlie and I haven’t ever made a Pie together so I thought we could create a Apple Pie for his dad.
Charlie is homeschooling and he is taking a cooking class. Charlie’s assignment this morning was to find a Apple Pie Recipe we could make together.
I also had Charlie write the ingredients we will need to purchase at the store when we go on Friday. For our Field Trip we will go grocery shopping for those ingredients.
I wish we had a place to go Apple Picking at but there isn’t so we are going to visit our local Fruit Stand which is a staple in our town.Shopping from them is very important as they are struggling due to Covid-19.
What do you like with your Apple Pie? Cheese, Ice Cream? Cool Whip or Reddi Whip? Charlie doesn’t eat Apple Pie but I do and like any of the above but Cheese which is wht my dad liked.
Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
- Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim even with edge. Fill with apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll remaining crust to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in crust.
- Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.
- Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
