Apple

Apple recipes have been around since the early days of civilization. The first recorded apple recipe was found in an ancient Egyptian cookbook. The recipe was for a dish called “Tst”, which was made with chopped apples, honey, and spices.

Apple recipes became very popular in Europe during the Middle Ages. Apples were often used in pies, tarts, and other desserts. Apple cider was also a popular drink during this time. Apple recipes were brought to America by the early settlers.

One of the most popular apple recipes is apple pie. Apple pie is made with a crust, filling, and topping. The crust is usually made with flour, butter, and water. The filling is made with apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The topping is usually made with sugar, butter, and flour.

Making a great apple pie is not as hard as it seems! Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To make the crust, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 cup of cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry blender or fork to mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add a few tablespoons of cold water and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. Then, take the dough out of the bowl and gently form it into a disk shape. Refrigerate the dough for at least half an hour. Meanwhile, peel, core, and slice your apples. Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. In a large bowl, combine the apples, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Roll out the dough into a circle and place it in a greased pie dish. Fill the dish with the apple mixture, then top it with another circle of dough. Crimp the edges of the dough together and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake the pie for 45 minutes and allow it to cool before serving.
