A Pie with a Twist: Grated Apples

This technique ensures that the pie cooks evenly and results in a delightful texture. Feel free to use your favorite apple varieties, such as Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, or Gala.

Let's Get Cooking!

Ingredients You'll Need

• Grated apples of your choice (about 3 cups)
• 1 stick of melted butter
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• A dash of salt
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup of sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Wash your apples under cold running water, then grate them, including the skins.
2. Gently stir the melted butter into the grated apples until fully coated.
3. Sprinkle flour over the apples, followed by a dash of salt and the cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir gently.
5. Finally, add the sugar and continue stirring until everything is thoroughly combined.

Crust: Store-Bought or Homemade?

When it comes to the pie crust, you have options. You can either use a ready-made crust or take this opportunity to flex your baking skills and make your own from scratch. If you choose the latter, we have a step-by-step recipe for making pie crusts on Taste of Southern.

Assembling Your Pie

1. Butter your pie dish and roll out the dough. Place it in the dish, making sure to patch up any tears or cracks.
2. Add the prepared filling to the pie crust. If your apples released excess juice, drain most of it before adding the filling.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pie inside.
4. Let the pie bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the filling starts to firm up.
5. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
