March 14th, 2008 : Apple Rhubarb Pie
As promised, here are the photos of today’s pie.
For this pie I decided to go Apple-Rhubarb. I had to use frozen rhubarb because it’s the wrong time of year here for fresh.
I started out by making the filling, slicing up several large apples and dumping them with my rhubarb. To this mix I added one and a quarter cup of sugar and three tablespoons of cornstarch.
For the crust, two cups of flower, three-quarter cup of crisco and one teaspoon salt.
After mixing these together I added several (5-8) tablespoons of cold water, and then folded it all together with a fork.
Next, roll out the pie crust, place in pie plate.
My trademark logo is the greek letter Pi which I use for my steam vent. Besides, it’s Pi Day, so it was a necessity.
I bake my pies for 15 minutes in the microwave to cook the filling, and then finish the pie with another 15-20 minutes in the oven at 350, to brown the crust.
I let it cool until after supper, when the whole family had a piece. Tasted wonderful, especially with a little bit of ice cream. Another Pi Day is a complete success.
Did anyone else celebrate?
