Apple Pie with Freshly Milled Wheat Pie Crust
This apple pie is delicious and uses all wheat freshly milled at home!
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts made with freshly milled wheat see notes below for the recipe!
- 4 cups peeled, cored, sliced apples This is about 4-5 pounds of apples to equal 4 cups. I prefer granny smith apples, but any apple will do!
- 1/2 cup sugar I prefer organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly milled soft white wheat flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 TB unsalted butter cut into slices or dime-sized bits
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice apples (see notes below)
- Put sliced apples in pot, cover with water, cook until apples are soft. About 10 minutes.
- Drain apples in colander. Add drained apples back to a bowl.
- To the apples, add your sugar, freshly milled flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix until it is all incorporated.
- Roll out bottom pie crust and place in pie pan. Add the apple mixture to the pie pan.
- Place sliced or cut up butter on top of apple pie mixture.
- Carefully roll out the top pie crust. Place on top of bottom pie crust and apple mixture.
- Crimp edges of pie crust (whatever design you like). Then cut slits on top of pie crust so pie can vent while cooking.
- Place in preheated 450 degree oven and bake for about 40-50 minutes.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
A note about the apples: you do not have to cook them if you don't want. I find I like the texture better when they are cooked.
If you are NOT cooking the apples, make sure apples are sliced thin to ensure they bake all the way. Otherwise, if you are cooking the apple the slices can be thicker.
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I’m looking forward to making this today. Milled flour in the fridge chilling. Thank you.
My pie was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! I admit I was nervous about the results at first because the crust seemed more like the crumbly consistency of a soft apple crisp after baking. After setting for almost a day, the consistency was perfect! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I really enjoy your videos.
Wonderful!!! My pies were the first to go at Thanksgiving this year! lol
