\"Pie Recipe\"

Any pie recipe has 2 steps.

Pie Recipe - Easy Recipe for a Tasty Apple Pie

1. Preparation of the crust.
2. Filling.

To prepare the crust, you need the following ingredients-

1. 2 and ½ cups of all purpose flour
2. 1 cup unsalted butter (Cold)
3. 1 Teaspoon sugar
4. 1 Teaspoon salt
5. Ice cold water

Mix the flour with ice cold butter cut in cubes. Add sugar and salt and mix it well, with cold water till the crumbs of the flour with pieces of butter and water hold together as dough. If they still crumble add a few drops of water again. Roll the dough to form the crust bottom and another for the covering layer. Cover the two rolled crust with a cloth and leave it in the refrigerator.

For the apple filling, peel the apples and slice then long. Take apples according to the size of the crust plate, or baking tray. Approximately you can take 6 -7 cups of all apple for a medium sized pie. Add ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon freshly grounded cinnamon, 1/4th teaspoon of nutmeg powder, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of butter to the sliced apples. Mix this well.

Place the cold rolled crust into the pie pan. Brush butter over the crust and place the apple fillings into the crust. Now place the next cold rolled crust over the filling, covering the pan. Blend the two crusts from the sides to close the apple filling with-in perfectly. Take a fork and poke in a few holes to give way to the moisture while making. You can always beat an egg and brush it slightly over the crust, or else simply bush butter over before baking. Pre-heat the oven up to 350 degree F and bake the pie for about 15 to 20 minutes till you see it turning golden brown and the aroma of baked cinnamon flavored apples inviting you.

Cool the pie and serve the pie slices with vanilla ice cream. You can try the above pie recipe with different fruits like strawberry, mango or oranges and pineapple for other fruit flavors.

Homemade Baked Beans Recipe

If you're looking for a good "homemade baked beans recipe" recipe - this is the place! Everyone loves some good baked beans, but most recipes call for them to be in a crockpot. Mine doesn't, instead I use can beans and cook them on the stove top. It's true, you could just buy a fancy can of Bush's baked beans, but it's just not the same as making your own homemade baked beans and letting them simmer of the stove as the flavors meld together! These are equally as good in the summer with a BBQ as they are in the winter on a cold blistery day!

• 3 cans great northern or navy beans, or 1 - 48oz jar or Randall's mixed beans (drained)
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (diced)
• 1 cup barbeque sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3-4 strips of chopped cooked bacon (if you like)

\"Pie Recipe\"

Drain each can of beans and pour into a sauce pan. Add all other ingredients and cook on medium high heat until it boils, then cover and reduce to low heat and simmer for one hour. If you're in a real hurry, you can cook on high for 10 minutes and serve (it just won't taste as good!).

Homemade Baked Beans Recipe

In the winter time you can cook this on the stove and let it simmer while making the main dish, but in the summer I like to just put the pot on the grill and let the beans simmer while I grill my meat. By the time the meat is done, the beans are usually done shortly after. There are all kinds of beans you can experiment with on this recipe as well, I usually end up using what I have on hand at the time. So I may use Pinto beans, Chili Beans, Mexican Beans - and even though you're making "homemade beans" it doesn't mean that you can't utilize any leftovers that you may have around. For instance, if I grill out and have left over burgers and beans, the next day I may chop up the leftover cooked burgers and thrown them in the beans and simmer for 20-30 minutes and eat! I've used thrown in leftover taco meat, sloppy joe, and even chicken. Technically that makes the "homemade baked beans" more like a chili - but it's OK to change it up a bit! Another thing that's fun with this recipe is to add some cubed cheese of any kind just minutes before it's done. That melted cheese can make it a big hit with everyone in the house!

The pie crust seems to be the most delicious looking part of the dish. Here is the ingredient to my favorite recipe:

Found in many cookbooks, the pie is an American dessert made of key lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk in a pie crust.

Regular of powered sugar can be used. The pie is a dessert made of key lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk in a pie crust.

It is not what you think; many people are used to a green pie, which is not the true color of the awesome

Key Lime Pie Recipe History

Recipe note: Fresh juice (some people even use some lemon juice) is far superior to bottled juice. Many early recipes for the pie did not instruct the cook to ever bake the pie, relying on this chemical reaction (called souring) to produce the proper consistency of the filling. The first recipe was written down in the 1930's, it had been made long before that down in Key West. The list of tales goes on and on in various cookbooks.

I bet even the great Sara Lee or Rachel Ray couldn't make a better pie for her new husband's birthday party. Rumor is it's his favorite.
