Dorie's All American Apple Pie!
Categories: Pies
Who couldn’t start the 4th of July weekend without an All American recipe, such as this one. 
If you have the book, consider making it for this weekend! You won’t be disappointed hehe!
When the ever so popular book “Baking: From My Home to Yours” went on bargain listings for Amazon (sorry, it’s not on bargain anymore 
), I knew I couldn’t pass it up. So many people rave about this book. In fact, there is a group online solely dedicated to making a recipe from this book every Tuesday, but I can’t join that because of my diet, and I really lack the time right now. Plus with a dead camera at home, I can only make desserts on weekends (since my fiance graciously allows me to use his camera), and those will be VERY few and far between!!
My new shiny baking book!!
I chose this recipe as my first recipe out of the book, because my fiance bought a bag of apples a week ago, and so we had to use them all..so this was perfect for that!
This was my first pie that I’ve made from scratch, and PRAISE GOD for a food processor. This crust was light and flaky, and just mmm. I will say the tapioca in the recipe made me a little confused, and I wanted to omit it so bad. The only time I eat tapioca is in my bubble (boba) tea, and in really large pearls. So, imagining this in apple pie was like hmm…
However, I’m glad I didn’t omit it. I really think this made the texture of the filling amazing. I’ve always been known to sub things in baking and cooking, and if I’m lucky, it comes out right…so I went strictly by the recipe! Oh wait, I did forget the graham cracker crumbs…only 2 tbs. so I think I’m ok…**sinks in desk chair** but still, fabulous apple pie!
Peeling, coring and slicing 4 lbs. of apples is HARD WORK!! We used pink lady and granny smith apples (he had 3 lbs of pink lady and I picked up a couple granny smiths)
The dough halved, getting ready to roll down
The pie assembled and ready to chill before going in the oven.
The finished pie..sigghh…sorry, had to have a slice!
The gooey goodness in the middle!
Such a fitting recipe to make for the holiday! It looks great

I do believe that is the best looking apple Pie I’ve ever seen! I’m getting more and more sold on getting this book myself, thanks!

That pie looks awesome! I agree the food processor is the best invention ever when it comes to crust!
