Meet the Cook: Pies are the dessert I like best to prepare. This one's the favorite for family get-togethers, and it has been awarded blue ribbons at a couple of local fairs. My husband's a cattleman. We're the parents of six and grandparents of nine. -Theresa Brazil, Petaluma, California

Golden Apple Pie Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + cooling Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 6-8 Servings

30 40 70

Ingredients

6 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apples
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple juice, divided
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
CRUST:
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine apples, 3/4 cup apple juice, sugar, cinnamon and apple pie spice; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Combine cornstarch and remaining apple juice; add to saucepan. Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 minute more or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
For crust, combine flour and salt; cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time; tossing with a fork until dough can be formed into a ball. Divide in half, making one half slightly larger. On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion.
Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top.
Bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Absolutely LOVE this recipe and so do our bed and breakfast guests! I substitute the apple juice and use our Wakefield Winery, Sweet Temptation (Apple Sauvignon Blanc) wine which turns this pie from yummy to INCREDIBLE!

I've used the filling from this recipe to make apple tarts (with puff pastry) and apple pies (with pre-made pie crusts), and the flavor is wonderful. It always seems to turn out a bit too juicy, though, so next time I'm going to try using a little less apple juice.

This is a really fool proof pie. I always add it into our Thanksgiving feast for that All American dessert.
