Strawberry And Apple Pie Food

STRAWBERRY AND APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450ºF degrees.
• Mix together apples, brown sugar, white sugar, arrowroot flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest. When totally mixed add the sliced strawberries and mix carefully so not to break them in pieces.
• Place crust in bottom of pie plate. Fill with apple mix and dab with the 4 tablespoons vegan margarine. Cover with top crust. If you like, brush with 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water.
• Cut slits in the pie for steam to escape. If you like sprinkle with some additional sugar to make the crust crunchy and sweet.
• Bake at 450ºF for 10 minutes, then turn down to 350ºF and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Or until the juices bubble out of the pie.
• You may need to cover the edges of the pie to prevent it from burning. Cool on a wire rack.
• Serve with some vanilla ice cream or top with whipped cream :).
• Bon Appetit!

STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Quarter 2 pounds of the strawberries and set aside. Dice half of the remaining pound, then slice the remainder.
• Stir 1 tablespoon granulated sugar together in a bowl with the elderflower liqueur until the sugar dissolves. Toss with the diced berries and set aside to macerate at room temperature.
• Place the quartered strawberries in a medium pot and gently stir together with the jam, cornstarch, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture is thick and jammy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool about 10 minutes, then stir in the reserved macerated berries.
• Pour mixture into the baked crust and allow to chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 3 hours.
• Decorate the top of the pie with the sliced berries in concentric circles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Whip the cream along with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cream of tartar until it holds medium stiff peaks. Serve alongside the pie.

STRAWBERRY APPLE PIE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare 2-9 inch pie crusts. You can use my Easy Spelt Pie Crust (if you like) which I have posted in my recipes.
• 2. Set the oven to 375'F.
• 3. Mix the sugars and cornstarch together. Prepare the apples and strawberries. I sliced the apples in my food processor, it saved time.
• 4. Mix the sugar/cornstarch mixture in with the apples and strawberries.
• 5. Put the bottom crust into your pie tin and add the apple/strawberry/sugar mixture.
• 6. Don't trim the edges of the crust, just leave them. Put the top crust onto the pie.
• 7. Now you will have the top and bottom crust on. Take the top and bottom crust around the edges of the pie and fold it under and seal the crusts together. Then flute the edges with your fingers and thumb. It will be fairly thick. You won't have to trim anything when you do this.
• 8. Using a whole egg, mix it well and brush it onto the top of the pie crust and along the fluted edges. Then sprinkle it with some good sugar. Cut steam holes in the top of the pie.
• 9. Bake for 45 minutes. Check it half way to make sure the edges don't burn. If they are getting really brown cover them with tin foil. When done, cool the pie thoroughly on a wire rack.
• 10. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping. Enjoy!

HALLOWEEN APPLE & STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry to a 30 x 45cm rectangle, then put it on a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
• Put the pastry in front of you with a short edge nearest to you. Spread the jam in a line down the centre, about 12cm wide, leaving 2cm of pastry at the top and bottom. Arrange the apple slices on top in a thin layer.
• To make the bandage pattern, lightly mark a 1cm-border around the jam. Cut the pastry edges into 1cm wide strips from the line outwards.
• Fold the strips of pastry over inwards on both sides, starting from the top until you reach the bottom, making some of them straight and some of them diagonal, so every now and then you can see some jam and apple. Don't worry if they don't look neat - this should look like a mummy. Every now and then you can break off a strip so you can see more filling. Chill for 20 mins. Can be wrapped in cling film and frozen for up to 1 month.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put in a baking sheet to heat up. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar. Slide the tart on its parchment onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown on top. Cool for a few mins, then push pairs of icing eyes into the pastry gaps so they look like they're looking out.

KELLY'S APPLE-STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

• Cover with second pastry, seal edges well, and flute.
• Cut slits to vent.
• Brush top pastry crust with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in 375 degree oven for about 50-60 minutes til done. Ovens vary so much that this is the best I can tell ya! *Cover edges with foil if they start to brown too much.
• ***You may want to set the pie on a foil-lined small cookie sheet to catch any drips if it happens to bubble over a bit. Hot bubbly sugar can create a horrible mess and can really SMOKE! LOL! Best to prevent the fire department coming when the neighbors see smoke coming out the kitchen window! ;).
• ***If you prefer, you can also use less cinnamon and vanilla -- but we really enjoy a WOW kinda pie ourselves! ;).
• ENJOY! :).
