One of America’s favorite desserts is the apple pie. It can be made at home or bought in stores but one thing is sure; there is nothing like the taste of fresh from the orchard. One of the reasons for this delicious pie is because of the apples used. If you are looking for the right apples to use when baking a pie then there are a few things you will want to keep in mind.
Choose The Right Apples
When choosing apples for apple pie baking, only use the same if you are making caramel apple pie. The best apples to use when baking a pie are ones that are firm and won’t fall apart no matter how much you press them down. If you decide to make a pie with a butter crust then you will want to use tart apples. These apples will keep their shape and cut without breaking.
When baking a pie, you will also want to keep the outer edges crispy. There are a few different ways you can do this. The easiest way is to use canned pumpkin and cinnamon to make a glaze. Simply pour the glaze over the edges and let it sit for a bit before removing it.
Apple pie can also be baked with canned fruit filling. This can be done using strawberries, peaches, and even blueberries. These fillings have a tart flavor that is great for eating with your dessert. When baking pies using canned fruit fillings, you will want to avoid filling the pie crust all the way up to the top.
It will make the finished apple pie crust bulky and will take more time to braid. There are several different ways you can braid your apple pie crust. You can use a fork to pull the pastry from its natural flounder shape. You can also just leave the top off and roll the pastry into ring shapes.
Don’t Over Bake Your Pie
Determining when your apple pie filling is ready is very important. When you see that the apples are dry you are ready to finish the rest of your pie baking. This can be done by putting your heating element on medium or high. After your apple pie has finished baking you can remove it from the oven. Let the pie cool down for about twenty minutes before you even try to slice it. While warm pie is a real treat, hot pie isn’t fun to eat and will almost always fall apart. Be patient, the hard work is over. You just need to let you treat cool down a bit before serving.
