Re: Apple Pie recipes anyone?
I usually make my own pie crusts, but you can just use store bought crusts, which I do in a real pinch!
Crust:
2-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 tbsp cold vegetable shortening (I use Crisco)
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp ice water
In a large bowl, blend flour, butter, shortening and salt until mixture resembles meal. Add 4 tbsp of ice water and mix thoroughly. Form dough into ball,dust with flour, and wrap in waxed paper and chill for 1 hour before rolling out for pie crusts.
Filling:
15-20 apples, peeled and sliced, a mix of tart and sweet (I usually get a mix of kinds for a nice flavor, like Macintosh, Granny Smith, Cortland, Fugi, etc.)
1/2 c. white sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c. flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp cream
1 tbsp sugar
Use 9-in pan. Roll crust for bottom. In a large bowl, combine apples, white and brown sugars, cinnamon, flour and lemon juice. Mix lightly. Sppon over crust and dot with butter. Place second crust over top and flute edges. Cut several slits in top crust. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 425 for 45 minutes, covering edges with foil for the first 30 minutes.

Re: Apple Pie recipes anyone?
I have a GREAT one at home, but it is very similar to the one posted above! 
I also agree that you have to use a mix of different types of apples.
And I bought one of those apple peelers / corers in William Sonoma and it was the BEST investment EVER. It slices the apples really thin! it's great!

Good luck!
