Apple pie is a favorite at our house, especially for Nolan and I. (It must be that we are the two with true American ties!) So fall means APPLE PIES FOR THE FREEZER! Yummy! If only they would last all year. This past week-end I made 6 in a few hours....these are my 3 favorite tools.
1. Pie Crust in a Food Processor (see earlier post for video)
Favorite Apple Pie Crust Recipe:
Mix in processor
2 1/2c flour
1 t. salt
2 T sugar
Pulse and add
1 cup cold butter chunked
Pulse until resembles oatmeal
Slowly add 2-3 T at a time of very cold water until small clumps start to form. Add no more than 1/2 cup water.
Turn out onto surface, kneed all the flour in, divide in two and chill for one hour. Roll to size of pie plate.
I bought mine at Target a few years ago. I don't see it on-line...but I see a similar one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Here's the link and a short video.

3. Adjustable Rolling Pin
This rolling pin keeps everything the same level...magic! Three levels. You can order them from amazon or http://www.karenscookies.net/
Now onto the apple crisp. I love fall!
