In case you’re curious as to the two types of writing I like
best, based on the photos I posted last time, the mask stood for Suspense (you
probably guessed that) and the Corvette tire stood for chase scenes, which in
turn stood for Action.
Today I’d like to share with you a great pie recipe I
“test-cooked” over the weekend to see if it would be a nice addition to our
Thanksgiving meal this week. However,
if you don’t make the crust with the Crisco piecrust recipe, I can’t guarantee
fantastic results! So here goes:
Place 2 cups of flour in a bowl and add one teaspoon of
salt, then mix well. Measure ¾ of a cup of Crisco and cut in with a pastry
blender until the mixture is uniform and very fine. Add 4 tablespoons of water and knead with your hands until
mixture forms a soft ball of dough.
Place half the dough on a lightly floured piece of wax paper and roll
out to about 1/8 of an inch thick. Slip
onto the rolling pin and place in a 9 inch pie plate. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into one-inch strips to
crisscross over the top of the pie.
Next peel and cut two Granny Smith, three Gala, and two
Golden Delicious apples into small pieces and place in a glass bowl. Add 1 ¼ c. of cranberries and one tablespoon
of water, cover, and soften fruit in microwave at medium strength for about six
minutes. Add ¼ cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon
cinnamon, an eighth of a teaspoon of nutmeg, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, and the
juice of one lemon. Stir well, then
dump into pie shell and cover with strips of crust. Bake at 375º for about 40 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
Voila! You've created a tart and delicious pie with a crispy crust. It's a masterpiece. Enjoy and have a
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
