This is our only apple tree that is left. The others could not stand the wind. This is a double red stamen winesap. They are outstanding for drying, making fresh apple cakes, pies, fried apples, apple sauce, apple butter and of course just plain eating. We are starting to dry some tomorrow. A little later we will get into making fried pies and stack cakes from dried apples.We are going to make a super good pie today.
Apple Pie with Cream Cheese in it.
3/4 Cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 Cup all purpose flour
1/2 Cup old fashion oatmeal (not instant)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (Mix cinnamon and nutmeg)
1/3 Cup cold butter
8 oz cream cheese
3 Cups thinly sliced and packed apples
1 egg
In one cup, put 1/3 Cup white granulated sugar
In another Cup put 1/4 Cup white granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons All Purpose flour to go in the apples
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
1) Let’s go ahead and bake our crust. I use the store bought crust when I am going to only use one or two. Take a 9 inch glass pie pan. Roll your crust out in it and fit firmly around the edges. Then any excess that you have, tuck it under. Bake it at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not prick it! If it puffs up in the middle, mash the puff down as soon as you take it out. It should be a golden brown.
2) Turn oven down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) In a small mixing bowl mix brown sugar, 1/2 Cup flour, about 1/2 of your spices, mix. Then cut in the butter (do not mash). In another bowl mix apples, 1/3 Cup sugar, 3 Tablespoons All Purpose flour, 1/2 of spices, fold together.
4) In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/4 Cup sugar on low until creamed. Add egg and vanilla mix good. Then spread over the baked crust.
5) Now add your apples, and then the oat mixture on top.
6) Place into your 350 degree F oven on top shelf for 45 minutes. Then check it. When it is golden brown, cover with aluminum foil (just lay it on top until 60 minutes is up).
