Apple Pie


I think the secret is the apple juice.  And the caramel sauce.

Combine:
1/4 c apple juice
1/2 c brown sugar (or 1/4 c brn sugar, 1/4 c caramel topping like for sundaes)

Add:
apples- 5-6, peeled, sliced
2 T cornstarch
1 tsp cinnamon

Put in crust, dot w/ butter (3-4 T, cut up) (optional), bake 350 deg for 50-55 min


General Pie Crust:
Great Grandma Stott's Never Fail Pastry (makes enough for one double-crust pie or two single-crust pies)

Mix together: 2.5 c flour
1 tsp salt

Cut in:
1 c shortening, until the mixture is part meal, part pea-sized.


To the side, combine:
1 T vinegar
0.5 c cold milk (maybe a touch more than 0.5)

After a few minutes pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir. Divide, roll out, etc.

Enjoy!
