    Wow great Lens - thank you. Apple pie is one of my favourite - check out my Lens Recipe for http://www.squidoo.com/workshop/heavenly-apple-pie. I've added this to my Lens as I think your Lens will compliment mine so well. You've shared so many great tips, info and recipes.

    We have a 'secret family recipe' that goes: Mince apples finely, mix with passionfruit pulp, spoon into prepared pastry casing, bake. That's it. But it tastes delicious.

    For the apple pie that says"doesn't this look pretty" when are you suppose to use the butter. the rest of the recipe was great. It doesnt specify when to use.

    After Cherry pie, I have to admit apple pie is my favourite! Yum, yum, yum!

    Why do the apples in our pie remain crunchy or rubbery?

    I'm always looking for delicious goodies to feature in my Coffee House lens, and of all the pies in the world, apple pie is my favorite. These look wonderful. And thank you for all the helpful hints. I love the idea of freezing my apples in a pie pan and then just placing them in the crust at baking time. But how much longer does the pie need to bake? Will the extra baking time make the crust too brown? Eagerly awaiting your reply!
  • melody-thacker Aug 4, 2011 @ 9:42 am | delete
    Thanks Joie, glad you enjoyed this lens. That's a great question! You'd need to bake the pie an extra 15 - 20 minutes, after the first 30 minutes reduce the oven temperature to 350F or 180C, the crust can be shielded with foil if it's getting too brown.

    My mom made apple crisp with butternut squash a few weeks ago. The kids loved it and no one knew. It does contain an awful lot of fiber though...so you might want to stay at one serving. ;)
  • Joyfulness Nov 15, 2009 @ 9:10 am | delete
    Can anyone tell me why the sliced apples in my apple pie remain semi-hard after baking? This dosen't happen everytime, but it does happen on occasion. The baking time was 30 minutes, but I returned the pie to the oven and baked it another 30 minutes (a total of one hours) and the apples were still somewhat hard. Three weeks earlier I made another apple pie, same apples, same recipe and the apples were soft and cooked through. That pie was baked the recommended 30 minutes! What happened? I thought it might be the oven, but I had not had any other problems with other baking or roasting in that oven.
  • melody-thacker Oct 10, 2010 @ 7:29 pm | delete
    Hi Joyfulness, it could be the variety of apple you used, some are better for baking than others. Some apples just require longer baking, test with a fork to see if they are tender. If the crust is getting too brown cover with a piece of foil.

    Apple pie is my son's favourite food ever, he even has one with candles in it instead of a birthday cake (he's 19 now so need to make bigger pies to get all the candles in!). He votes my mum as the best pie-maker, he has an allergy to milk and egg so she makes a special pastry recipe just for him.

    Keep up the good work, 5 stars for a wonderful lens, Lisa

    One year I made an apple pie that had a caramel streusel topping on it. I'll have to figure out where I found that recipe...it was soo good! But I still kind of felt myself longing for a traditional, good ol' regular apple pie. Mmm... your lens is making me want some now!

    I love apple pie made from crisp MacIntosh Apples picked fresh from the tree on a chilly October day in Vermont. Do you know the book "How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World"? It's a picture book that can lead into geography lessons and making apple pie. Come visit me for more teachinging ideas.

    I LOVEEEEEE apple pie. Especially, when its hot out of the oven with some vanilla ice cream on top. With that soft crust on the bottom and the sweet apples. I need to call my mother right now. Come see my lense on Coach Outlet Store
