ok i love pie made it once and didnt like the outcome i have a few apples and i want to make apple pie does anybody have a fool proof recipe?

are you looking for a recipe for the pie filling?
i cook the filling first, because if you fill the pie with uncooked apples you end up with that big air space and i *hate* that!

here is the recipe for the filling (i like using fuji apples best):
peel, core, slice about 3 pounds of apples (6-8 medium, approx 7 cups)

heat in skillet 3 tbsp UNSALTED butter until sizzling
add apples and toss until glazed with butter
reduce heat to medium, cover tightly and cook, stirring frequently until apples are soft outside but still slightly crunchy (about 5-7 min).
add
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
increase heat to high and cook at rapid boil until the juice get thick and syrupy (about 3 min)
immed spread apples in thin layer on baking sheet allow to cool to room temp.
place rack in lower third of oven. preheat to 425

fill pastry crust

bake until filling begins to bubble (40-50 min)
let cool completely before serving.

pastry recipe -

for 2 crusts:

2 1/2 c flour
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp salt
sift above together

add 1 c COLD solid veg shortening
break into chunks and work in with a pastry blender
most of particles are pea sized with the rest crumb-like
the mixture should appear dry and powdery... NOT greasy or pasty

drizzle over the mixture
1/3 c plus 1 tbsp COLD water
using a spatula, cut the water into the dough with the blade side until the mixture looks evenly moistened. it should not look wet. when the spatula is pressed down the dough will stick together.
if it doesn't stick together you need to add 1 to 2 tbsp more COLD water
the dough should look rough.

divide the dough into 2. press each half into a flat disk. wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill minimum of 30 min. several hours (overnight) is preferable

What a cutie

That is a sweet pic, countess.
Already went through one pumpkin pie, will get another one today. Only my son and I like it, so I'll make a cherry cheesecake (pie-shaped) for Thanksgiving.
Luckily, our Safeway's pumpkin pies are awesome - taste totally homemade and have just the 'right' combination of spices.

BTW Natalka, in case you didn't know..... Pie calories are cancelled out on Sunday because it's Thanksgiving.

It is a little known rule (same applies at Christmas)

I was just figuring the whole weekend was included - they do call it the 'holiday weekend', lol!
Pumpkin pie is pretty decent for calories, but I LOVE having real whipped cream on top - that's the kicker!
