  1. Apple Pie
    Introduction
    Pies are delicious. The one that I like the most is the apple pie. A big problem of pies is that not all the pies are as delicious as you expect them to be. This happens because people do not use the correct ingredients and steps when they prepare a pie. (Topic sentence)Following these directions you will be able to prepare the best apple pie ever.
    Body
    First, you need to gather these ingredients:
    • Pastry for the crust : 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup butter, chilled and diced
    1/2 cup ice water
    • 8 cups sliced, peeled assorted baking apples - about 3 lbs
    • 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice
    • 3/4 cup of white sugar
    • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
    • 2 Tablespoons of butter
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 Tablespoon of milk
    You have to start with the crust. In a bowl, mix the flour with salt. Add butter and mix until it looks like rough crumbs. Pour a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it takes the form of a ball. Put all in plastic and refrigerate it for 4 hours. After refrigerating, with a rolling surface put a half of the crust on a pie plate. Keep the other half. Then, you have to prepare the pie filling. In a bowl, shake the sliced apples and the lemon juice. Next, you have to mix the both kinds of sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Pour this on the crust. After that, serve the second half of the crust. With a fork, make a beautiful design on the top. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and the milk. Brush it on the top of the pie. Bake at 425 Fahrenheit degrees 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 Fahrenheit degrees and bake 40 to 45 minutes more or until crust is golden.
    Conclusion
    If you followed all this steps with patience, you will have a delicious pie made. You will be the envy of all your friends.

  10. APPLE PIE

    There are many desserts that you can eat after your breakfast, lunch or dinner.
    One of them is the apple pie, to make this recipe you need to gather the following ingredients.

    For the buttom crust you need:
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter
    2 1/2 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

    For the pie filling you need:
    5 pounds Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 pinch ground ginger
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

    And for the topping you need:
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup softened butter
    1/2 cup superfine sugar

    Then you follow these directions,
    1. To make the bottom crust, stir the flour and white sugar together in a bowl until well-combined. Rub the unsalted butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle with cold water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, mixing the dough together lightly with a fork until it barely holds together.
    2. Form the dough into a ball and roll it out to a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Gently ease the dough into an 8-inch pie dish. Cut off any excess pastry with a knife. Finish the edge of the crust by gently pressing the tines of a fork into the dough all the way around the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
    3. To make the pie filling, stir the apples, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice together in a large bowl; set aside.
    4. To make the topping, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, and the superfine sugar together in a bowl until you have a sticky, moist dough.
    5.To assemble the pie, cover the bottom of the pie crust with a light, even layer of graham cracker crumbs. Fill the pie with the apple mixture, piling it up in a mound shape. Pinch off pieces of the topping mixture, flatten them a little with your fingers, and dot them at random all over the top of the filling, covering as much of the filling as possible.
    6. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
    7. Tear off 2 30-inch-long pieces of parchment paper and place them in a cross shape on a work surface. Place the filled pie in the center of the two pieces of parchment, bring the paper ends up over the pie and fold and staple the parchment paper over the pie to completely enclose and seal in the pie. The paper should not touch the top or sides of the pie. Place the parchment-wrapped pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
    8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Don't peek inside the parchment paper while baking. Remove from the oven, carefully tear the parchment paper away from the pie, and let cool; serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

    So you better start to prepare your own recipe, and see how it ends.
    I know that will be very delicious apple pie.
