Apple pie to freeze (4-5 servings) INGREDIENTS 18 cups thinly sliced apples 3 tablespoons lemon juice 4 1/2 cups white sugar 1 cup cornstarch 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 10 cups water DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Pour water into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add to water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add apples and return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes. Ladle into 5 freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cool at room temperature no longer than 1 1/2 hours. Seal and freeze. Can be stored for up to 12 months. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Pie-Filling/Detail.aspx Notes: I used about half the water, and 3/4 the cornstarch and sugar. That produced more than enough liquic. ---------- Whole wheat pie crust http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/dessert/piecrust_ww.html 7 tablespoons very cold butter 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water Cut the butter into tablespoons and then each tablespoon into quarters. Put cut butter in the freezer while mixing flour and salt. Mix the whole wheat pastry flour with the salt in a medium bowl or a food processor. Add the cold butter pieces and cut in using a pastry blender or by pulsing in the food processor. Add ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time until dough forms into a ball. Gather up and pat into a disk. If possible, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before rolling out. When ready to use, roll dough out on a lightly floured board. Gently fold into quarters using a little flour as needed to prevent sticking. Place dough in pie plate and carefully unfold, fitting loosely and then pressing into place. Trim the edges and crimp for a decorative crust. This dough can also be frozen for later use. Notes: Made double -- for top and bottom of pie. Filled. Brushed top with a little milk. Cooked at 425 for 10 minutes, 350 for half an hour, but I think I'd do higher for longer and cook for less long since the filling is already cooked.
