Homestead Recipes

I have been cooking over 50 years. I cook from scratch every day, so I am always looking for new recipes to try.

Crust

1 ¼ cups (142g) King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour

1 ¼ cups (149g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons (18g) buttermilk powder, optional

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons (21g) confectioners' sugar

½ teaspoon baking powder

16 tablespoons (227g) unsalted butter, cold

about ½ cup (about 113g) ice water*

note: Add just enough water to bring the dough together into a cohesive mass, with no dry chunks flaking off.

Filling

7 to 8 cups (907g) cored, peeled, and sliced Ginger Gold or Granny Smith apples; see "tips," below

1 cup (113g) confectioners' sugar

⅓ cup (71g) Pie Filling Enhancer*

¼ cup (85g) boiled cider**

1 ½ teaspoons Apple Pie Spice, or spice mix of your choice

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon (14g) vanilla extract

2 tablespoons (28g) butter, melted

See "tips," below

note: Substitute frozen apple juice concentrate, if you choose; the flavor won't be quite as good.

Topping

2 tablespoons (28g) milk

2 tablespoons (28g) sparkling white sugar
