曾經在店裏買過一個店家自己做的Apple Pie，感覺不喜歡，也許是因為他們為了保鮮，不得不冷凍，所以，打開以後，發現，裏麵的蘋果，顏色變得很難看，所以，看著一點兒沒胃口，後來就再也不買了，改自己做著吃，至少圖個新鮮。
一時找不到我很喜歡的配方，找了一個相似的。貼這兒。
Makes one 9-inch pie.
Ingredients
Pastry
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tbsp to 10 tbsp cold water as needed
Filling
8 cups peeled and sliced tart apples, such as Spy or Spartan
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 egg whisked with 2 tbsp cold water for brushing
sugar for sprinkling
Directions
Pastry
Combine flour with salt. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture is a roughly even crumbly texture.
Add lemon juice and water and blend just until dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Filling
Toss all ingredients except butter together and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of dough to just under ¼-inch thick. Lightly dust bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with flour and line pan with dough. Fill pastry with apples and dot top with butter.
Roll out remaining half of dough and place over apples. Trim and cinch edges of pie and cut in holes in top layer of pastry to let steam escape. Brush top of pie with eggwash and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 °F and bake about 40 minutes, until filling is bubbling. Cool pie for at least an hour before slicing.
說相似，是有幾點。此配方說是Makes one 9-inch pie，但就我所知，這都可以做倆九英寸盤的了。
我自己的配方呢，麵粉我會減一點，有1.5 Cup就差不多了，其他不減。但我不在Pastry裏加lemon juice，小Tern很不喜歡lemon跟麵粉的混合物。
還有，不懂Filling裏為什麽需要那麽多蘋果，我做Filling喜歡用Granny Smith，通常用三個就夠了。後來試著用兩個Granny Smith加一個Pink Lady，味道也不錯，糖我不放那麽多，有這配方裏的一半就差不多了。我也不加nutmeg，如果用新鮮檸檬可以加一點兒檸檬皮，我有時用檸檬汁，就不加皮了。還有自己吃，也懶得在外麵刷雞蛋液，嗯，那個，刷好了可能好看，刷不好很難看。其實，可以刷一點兒蜂蜜水，如果想要外表顏色深一點兒的話。
