Fantastic base recipe for apple pie - consider additions and changes.
- Had success substituting in a cup of pot roasted quinces, with their cooking liquid (essentially a thick jelly) for most of the 1/4 liquid used.
- After the apples have been cooled and drained, add a tablespoon of rosewater, a quarter teaspoon of cardamom, 2 cups frozen raspberries, extra sugar depending on sweetness of berries, and a quarter cup of tapioca flour (likely would use less tapioca flour for firm fresh berries?)
The best pie recipe we found in 2016. If you're not a pastry person, they sell that kind of thing frozen in shops now. Still 100% worth it.
