Nov 29 Apple Pie (store bought crust) x 2

Ingredients:

4 1/2 lbs baking apples (pink lady, golden delicious, Granny Smith)
A pad of unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (likely a little more, to taste)
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg (a little more, eyeball to taste)
1/4 tsp ginger
2 tbsp flour
Pie shell base (any)
Lattice work done with thawed and rolled out gluten free crust by kinnikinnick (just working with what the store had)

Directions:

Allow pie crusts to come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
Slice apples into 6ths (I used the apple coring, slicing tool)
Using a parking knife, carefully remove apple skin.
Each of the apple slices should then be cut into thirds.
Once apples are prepared, mix all seasonings but hold the flour until later.
Heat the pad of butter on low heat and saute the apples until lightly softened and fragrant. This step removes a ton of the juice and will ensure the pie crust isn't soggy.
Par bake the pie crusts by making holes in the base with a fork, covering with parchment and baking weights (if you have) and bake for 10 minutes.
Once you have par baked the crusts, add flour to apple mixture and put in the pie shells.
Make lattice if desired, add egg wash and turn oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake pies for 20 minutes.
Check for Browning and tent the crust with tin foil.
Bake another 20 minutes.
Allow to cool on rack and enjoy!
