And now you've got to fill your pie crust, right? Take out your Granny Smith apples, and you can either follow the easy recipe shown in the pictures, or try oldman's, which I'll share in a minute.Ultra-basic Apple Pie 6 cups apples, cored and thinly sliced. You can peel these if you are industrious, or just slice very thinly if not For me, I used 4 medium-sized Granny Smiths, but I should have used 6.0.5 to 0.75 cups sugar2 Tablespoons flourcinnamon or nutmeg to taste.Filling a pie is just this simple---slice the apples, toss them into the bottom pie crust, dust the sugar and flour over the top, and cover with the top crust. It's good to cut some vents for the pie to steam through... those who are artistic can work magic here. I just cut four little slices and was happy to see that I didn't mess that up You can see from these pictures that---even though I filled my pie plate to the top, the apples cooked down as I baked them, so my pie is sad-looking and flat. Oldman suggested a way I could avoid this, which we'll get to in the next post!Trivia: The genetic variability found in the apple has allowed adapted types to be selected for different environments, and selection continues for new types to extend apple culture into both colder and warmer regions. Orchards are now found in Siberia and northern China where winter temperatures fall to –40°C and in high elevations in Colombia and Indonesia straddling the equator where two crops can be produced in a single year (Janick 1974). Present world production of apples (FAO 1995) is close to 49 million tonnes. Apples are the fourth fruit crop in importance after all citrus (85 million t), grapes (56 million t), and banana (53 million t). less
