FILLING
8 cup apples, peeled & sliced
12 oz frozen apple juice concentrate
1 tsp cinnamon
CRUST
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1/4 tsp salt
12 tbsp sweet butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the apple slices, apple
juice and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Leave the saucepan uncovered.
Simmer over low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed into the
apples, stirring occasionally. The apples will be ready after about
30 minutes. Cool slightly. Combine the white and whole wheat flours
and salt in a bowl. Combine 1/3 of the mixture with enough of the
apple juice to form a paste. Cut the butter into the remaining flour
mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the paste. Form a
soft dough but do not knead. Roll out half the dough and fit into the
(9") Pie Plate. Fill with the cooked apples. Roll out the remaining
dough and form a top crust. Place the top crust over the filling and
press the edges together with a fork. Prick a few vents in the top
crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375
degrees. Bake until golden brown (15-20 minutes). Serve warm, at room
temperature or cold. Excellent with sharp cheddar or vanilla ice
cream.
Servings: 1 pie

The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
