Apple Pie
Hints and Tips
Most recipes call for five to six cups of
sliced apples for a 9- or 10-inch pie
dish.
1 pound of apples is equivalent
to 2 - 2 ½ cups chopped/sliced
apples, or three medium apples.
Purchase in season apples for
best flavor.
Store apples between 32 and
40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Store in perforated plastic bag.
Peel apples; the skin will not
break down during cooking and
will toughen.
Add cut apples to water with lemon
juice to prevent browning.
Cut apples into quarters, then core.
Use apple peels to make apple jelly.
Use both sweet and tart apples when making apples sauce and pies.
