TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH RECIPES - APPLE BUTTERSCOTCH PIE

Steps:

• You can use a ready-prepared pastry flan case or make your own. I recommend Recipe #148258.(I would like to mention that on rampantscotland.com, most pie crust recipes are made with half lard, half butter. Seems to be another scottish touch, which I like).
• Peel and thinly slice the apples to fill the case completely.
• Beat together one egg and two tablespoon of cream. Mix this with the brown sugar, flour and pinch of salt.
• Spread this mixture over the apples and bake in a preheated oven at 220C/425F/Gas mark 7 for ten minutes. Then reduce the heat to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 for a further 20 minutes or so, until the apples are soft.
• Make a meringue topping by placing two egg whites in a dry bowl and beat with an electric whisk/mixer until firm peaks form. Add the white sugar gradually, beating constantly until the mixture is thick and glossy and all the sugar has dissolved.
• Spread the plum jam over the apples and then spoon the meringue over the filling. Swirl into peaks with a fork or flat-bladed knife.
• Bake for a further 20 minutes or so until the meringue is lightly golden.(watch kind of closely, I've burned meringues by following these directions excactly because ovens vary) Serve cold.

• In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, cookie crumbs, marmalade, raisins and orange zest.
• Spoon the filling into the pastry crust.
• Roll out the top pastry, and then place on top pressing the crust edges together to seal.
• Crimp edge decorativly (you can also flute the edges if desired).
• Cut a 1-inch hole in center of the top crust.
• In a small cup whisk together the whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar, then brush over top crust.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust is golden and fruit is bubbles thickly (you might want to place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills).
• Serve warm.

APPLESCOTCH PIE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, mix apples, brown sugar, water and lemon juice. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 7 to 8 minutes or just until apples are tender. In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup flour, the granulated sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt; stir into apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter; cool.
• Heat oven to 425°F.
• In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide pastry in half; shape each half into flattened round surface. Wrap flattened rounds of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Roll one round of pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold one pastry circle into fourths and place in pie plate. Unfold pastry and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked.
• Spoon apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Trim overhanging edge of bottom pastry 1/2 inch from rim pf pan. Roll other round of pastry. Fold top pastry into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Place pastry over filling and unfold. Trim overhanging edge of top pastry 1 inch from rim of pan. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack at least 2 hours.
