Old Fashioned Apple Pie

Hey, y'all

Ooh, we're in here talking about Thanksgiving and all the good stuff we're going to make

OK, so here's the big secret reveal. My genius auntie, who can do anything in this world

she can't bake a honey, right? She has never made desserts. So get to work, Aunt Peggy

Tell me what you're doing. I'm thinking about cutting up the apples

That's a great start. We're just going to cut them down the center, and then we're going to cut them just like this

Got it. To be careful that you don't cut yourself, it's probably better to turn your apple over like that

We have three different kind of apples. We have got them sliced

We're gonna toss them with a half a cup of sugar, a fourth of a cup of light brown sugar, a teaspoon of cinnamon

All right, Aunt Peggy, I'm gonna put this in front of you so that you can start stirring everything up as I put everything in it

I'm gonna add about a half a teaspoon of salt. I'm gonna give you one tablespoon of flour

and that gonna help thicken the juice that comes out of those apples And I going to squeeze about two tablespoons of lemon juice over our apples

That's going to help bring out the tartness in those delicious apples

That lemon juice will keep your apples from turning dark. Yes, it will keep those apples from turning dark

All right, so we are going to take our crust. I'm going to put this in as evenly as I can

because we're going to trim this. All right, so I'm going to come in here

and I'm going to very gently trim our crust and then in our apples go

And this is really going to cook down. That appears to be a lot of apples

but after they cook, they'll be just like the perfect size. I can see that

All right, now, we've got some butter right here. We cannot make an apple pie without butter

so we're just gonna come in here. There we go. All right

I've got another crust in here. Hey! We've got to put the top crust on our pie

Now, I want to get that as centered as I can, and I think for this one

I will switch over to scissors And I just gonna go around there and cut this just like this Aunt Peggy if you would crack that egg

I'm gonna need an egg wash to make the top of our pie shiny

Got it right here. And I'm gonna come in here and just put a little of that egg wash

on that bottom crust because I don't want those crusts coming apart

All right, I want to be very gentle with this. Aunt Peggy, you see what I'm doing

All right, now we're just going to take our egg, and we're going to brush this

and this is going to make it beautiful and shiny, and it's going to turn it a beautiful yellowish golden brown

And then we're gonna do about four slits in it, and then that's gonna go in the oven

We're gonna bake it at 450 for about 20 minutes, then we're gonna cut down our oven to 350

and bake it for another 50 minutes, and it's gonna be out of this world

And for our pie, Aunt Peggy, Brandon, you're strong. You're young and strong

So I'm gonna get right over here. Can you do it, baby

I can do it, I've been working out. So here we go here our masterpiece Henry Oh Henry Oh my precious Henry Oh

Hey, my angel! Y'all, this is one of my grandsons. This is Henry

Reed. And he is Guinea's sweetheart. I love him better than ice cream with whipped cream on top

Yeah. You sit right up here, baby. Guinea's gonna give you some apple pie and ice cream. Look-a-there, look-a-there. We're gonna sprinkle

it, Henry, with a little sugar-sugar. And look, Ginny's got some whipped cream. And

then Ginny likes pretty. You know how Ginny likes for everything to be pretty

You need some vegetables on here? Yes, I got some vegetables on there. Stick your finger in the whipped cream

Yes, I do, Angel. So making this apple pie is worth every bit of trouble

When that special grandbaby comes in and says they want a piece of pie

it makes it all worth it. You love me more than ice cream

I love you more than butter
