1.Queen Bee Apple Pie

1.  Queen Bee Apple Pie(Php.12.00)

I don't know what got into me. Last week I bought about 10 pounds of apples wanting to make pies. I baked two. And I still have a lot of apples left. The first pie I made was apple streusel pie.

Ingredients

         2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

         2 sticks chilled butter - cut into chunks

         1/2 teaspoon salt

         6 tablespoon cold water

         8 Granny Smith apples

         1/3 cup honey

         3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

         2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

         1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

         1 egg

Directions

1.        Pulse 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, butter, salt and water with a food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Gather into 2 balls. Wrap with Seran wrap. Flatten a bit and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to an hour.

2.       Roll out a ball of the prepared dough big enough to cover a 9-inch pie dish on a floured surface. Line a pie dish with the dough. Cover and refrigerate.

3.      Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

4.       Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/4 inch slices. Toss with honey, flour, and spices. Transfer onto the prepared pie dish. Press down the filling a bit with your palms.

5.       Roll out the other half of pie crust. Cover the pie and crimp the edges. Lightly beat an egg and brush the pie.

6.       Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 and bake for 30 more minutes.
