Naturally, the finale is dessert. Nothing elaborate -- just a little apple pie to cap off a food-porn-filled day. And for me, it wasn't just pictures. I got to fix it, then eat it. I think y'all got the dirty end of that stick. Anyway, straight from The Joy of Cooking (my 30-year-old copy, a gift from my mother, is beat to shit but still good), we have apple pie. Alas, I did not make my own pie crust -- that will be a food porn post for another day. I went commercial on the crust. But enough splitting hairs. We begin with 5-6 cups of sliced apples (oddly enough, roughly 5-6 medium apples, cored and sliced). You also begin with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/8 tsp salt, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg:
Slice up your apples, and put them in a big mixing bowl:
Mix your dry ingredients, then pour them over your sliced apples.
Mix them up right until the apple slices are nicely coated. Then layer those slices in your pie crust:
Slap some butter on top:
Cover the pie with another pie crust, and puncture that crust to ventilate:
Preheat the oven to 450, bake your pie for 10 minutes at that setting, then reduce to 350 for another 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
That's some good eating there, even if Mrs. Wolves gets to the pie with a spoon before I get to it with a camera. Enjoy.
