I love how you use the SWAG method (Scientific Wild A** Guess)for your brown sugar and apples, lol! That's how us old timers do it. We rarely measure anything 😊
I made this pie for my family and we loved it. I just wanted to say thank you for the pie crust recipe though most. I am an experienced cook, but pie crusts have always been a bit dicey for me. Yours worked like a treat. It behaved perfectly and gave me no trouble and then it held its crispness for entire length of the pie's life--which admittedly wasn't long. The only thing I would do differently though is make sure that a tart apple like a Granny Smith or Arkansas Black is in the mix for some tartness. Loved it though. Thanks so much.
When my mom was cutting up apples for a pie, she’d cut them into a pie pan, so she could easily see when she had enough for the pie. They’ll cook down, so you want to have it heaped.
Most food can. Oddly I don’t have a problem with pie dough. My kryptonite is cookies (mildly frustrating) and rice crispy treats (evil things), I cannot do them if I feel even slightly insecure. If I do they come out like teeth breaking hockey pucks. But give me something stupidly complex to do and I breeze through it. Point is food can most definitely smell fear. More likely your nerves work on you and you become self fulfilling prophecy but it’s not as interesting to say it that way. My advice, put on your favorite music, take a deep breath and dance in your kitchen when you start feeling stressed (before and during) by a recipe or a dish. Hard to stay stressed during dancing, even if it’s just little dancing in place that no one will see.
@@Jaeler9Even when I’m without fear, I have yet to make a 100% butter pie crust without it getting soggy. I can make a crust just fine with margarine, yet I can’t with butter. I won’t give up though. I think I used too much butter. And probably doesn’t help that I was using a glass dish, and a tabletop oven instead of a full sized oven 😂. I will prevail! Also, a little tip for cookies is when in doubt, add a few extra tablespoons of room temperature butter. More fat fixes everything! Except pie crust…
@@bierbrauer11My mom liked hers that way, too. If a piece of pie was left after supper, we all knew not to touch it, it was mom's for right after breakfast with the cheese and an extra cup of coffee. I think this pie might be too sweet for the cheese to work it's magic? 😊
I finally got around to making this pie last weekend. I pulled it out of the oven mere minutes before we headed out for a Dungeons and Dragons session. The smell in the car was divine, and when I sliced it up during the game it vanished in a flash. As suggested, I upped the salt in the filling; ended up going to 1/2 tsp, and adding a half tsp of cinnamon, too, since making an apple pie without just didn't feel right. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
I've been making butterscotch apple pie for about 15yrs. I make a caramel sauce pour it over my seasoned apples. I use two frozen pie crusts. I add 3tbsp of flour to my apples along with nutmeg all spice cinnamon vanilla and butter. I actually made two within the last week my family loves my pie
My grandmother made this pie! This episode certainly brought back memories. I hope you enjoyed your time in Oshkosh for the airshow. I live about 4 blocks from the airport and it gets pretty noisy - especially when the jets are in the air.
Looking forward to trying this very interesting apple pie. 😊 BTW, I doubt that most folks who originally used this recipe book were using a ruler for the lattice strips. Plus I don't think I'm alone to say I love when food looks rustic & homemade. Thanks Glen. ❤😛🏖Kj in Tampa Bay 🥧
It looks perfect as is. That being said, I would be so tempted to add a shot or two of whisky and a pinch of cinnamon to the butterscotch mixture. Or apple schnapps instead of the whisky. Only one way to find out!
That looks... I'm trying not to be hyperbolic and say "fantastic," but that's the only word I can think of. I really love that thickened butterscotch sauce. That puts to rest many of my fears about making a pie and having it be runny. I love this! I love to bake, but am not at all a pie maker. But I definitely want to try this. Thanks, too, Glen for always teaching us to be fearless.
That looks so good. My favorite baking apple is the Jonathon but I haven't seen them in stores for a few years. I like them precisely because the are smaller and so are my hands!
I made butterscotch pecan ice cream just yesterday, and it would go perfectly on top of this! And as someone who recently took up baking, I can vouch that making a pie crust is very intimidating at first but gets easier each time.
Banbury Tarts! I remember those from a poem my father used to read me from a book called A Children’s Treasury. I’ve found over the years bits of info on their history, though have never seen them in a cookbook. Please consider making them!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! My dad and I used to bake on Saturday's, he taught me how to cook and bake. This brought back a lot of memories. Thank you so much 😊
Okso i tried this recipe. I used empire apples. Maybe they are too juicy for pie because the sauce turned into soup. Even after overnight in the fridge i still have apple pie in sweet brown soup. That said, it still tastes good. Pie is, after all, a major food group. I do miss the spices but thats just my preference. Love your channel Glen and Jules is adorable as ever!
i need to make this!!! we have 2 apple trees on our land not including the 3 pear trees 2 of which are asian pear trees! but the apples!! oh man there are soooo many apples and the deers keep eating them! they are kind of a granny smith type apple and wonder if those would work well? also, i am TERRIFIED of pie dough, i will be going back to your butter pie crust dough recipe and watch it and take notes! you really inspire me to "GET IN THERE". thank you so much for all your content! i just love your channel.
Thank you, thank you, Thank you. I can't wait to try this for hand pies (a.k.a. empanada). I've been looking for a way to thicken the juice without the apples cooking down to mush.
My grandmother and her friends used flour, cornstarch, or Minute tapioca in pie fillings to thicken them. A 9 inch pie usually had 2-3 Tbsp of flour, 1-2 Tbsp of cornstarch, or Minute tapioca according to the package directions. The thickener was mixed with the sugar and fruit and left to stand to draw out the juices (mixing occasionally) before either being cooked on the stove before baking or being put directly into a pie crust and baked
Made this last week. Husband loved it. Will add a little bit of apple pie spice next time I make it. I used pre-made pie crusts. Used a pastry tip to cut out wholes of the top crust then place on top instead of making a lace crust. I also used apple vinegar in recipe.
Thanks for sharing, good idea to put the whole page of the recipe, on the video, so that you could capture the image for later. I’ve had similar success using my Nans recipe, by adding cloves to the apples (non butter scotch version), but using the same technique. I will give this a go, love your videos 👍
hey Glen, long time watcher, very rare commenter. I really like what you had to say about not being afraid of pie dough. You were reading my mind right as you said it. I've watched you make pies many times, and I've been tempted to give them a try, but pie dough always seems daunting and makes me steer clear. I think it's time to just give it a go. Keep up the great work, love the channel.
This looks absolutely scrumptious. I think I would prefer to stir the cooked apples into the butterscotch mixture and then add to the pie tin but either way its a winner 🍎🍏🍎😊🍏🍎🍏
I tried this today after having it on my bucket list after watching the video when it first came out. It turned out delicious for us. I used eight Idared apples and those baked up great. I cooked the sauce longer to where it was a bit thicker since that's the way we liked it. I definitely would make it again.
I think apples were smaller in the 1930s. Six to eight apples would be fewer apples today. That was a good explanation about the vague directions in the recipe, before kitchen scales became common. No matter how many apples you use, if it turns out OK, you got it right!
I use gravenstein apples for my apple pies. It's an heirloom apple pie variety with a PHENOMENAL apple flavor! The only downside is that the apples literally dissolve when you cook them. So you kind of end up with junky Apple sauce pie. But the taste is stunning! Out of this world! Everyone in my family loves my apples pies and want me to make them for the holidays.
"Some apples are for cooking and some are for eating." Yes, with a couple caveats. First, cooking and eating apples are interchangeable. Second, red "delicious" apples are only fit for horses and people you don't like very much.
Looks delicious. I find straight apple pie a bit dull, but I think the "apple scotch" sauce would make it delicious. Perhaps a dash of calvados in the sauce?
My mother used to cook her apples in sugar before putting them in a pie crust because the sugar somehow protects the apple slices and keeps them from getting mushy. I don't know all the chemistry behind it, but it always worked.
Lol, you are so right...pie crust scares me. This recipe looks so good I am going to have to overcome my fear and try your wonderful butter crust. Thanks Glen. Hi Julie.
When I make pie crust I have chilled everything in the freezer from the stainless steel bowl, the flour, and the butter chunks. I have been known to chill the flouur/butter mixture before adding the ice water.
New subscriber here; happy hour channel appeared on my algorithm 😊. That looks so good! I think the sauce by itself would be great over icecream. I'm gluten free, so i would probably make an apple crisp rather than pie. Thanks for sharing!
I would probably be inclined to mix the butterscotch with the apples before placing all in the crust, rather than layering. Seems like kind of a big wodge of intense sweetness separate from the fruit. Would mixing be a bad idea for some reason I’m not thinking of?
I keep watching this old recipe book videos and I really love them, but, I just cant stop picturing Glen as a Canadian version of Benny Hill, waiting for the intro song to start xD
Oh my Goodness! This pie was awe-----some! My "scotch" was not as thick as Glenn's at first, but it did thicken up a little more. I think that the lattice let moisture out so the Carmel would thicken up more as itbaked. Did not taste the apple cider vinager at all.
An easier way of making the lattice is to lay a piece of parchment on your work surface, then build the lattice on that. When it's ready, you can either slide is onto the pan or flip it carefully. Thus saving yourself a sticky task. :)

When I make apple pies, I get a mix of apples from the farmer's market. Different apples mixed make the best pies.
When my mom was cutting up apples for a pie, she’d cut them into a pie pan, so she could easily see when she had enough for the pie. They’ll cook down, so you want to have it heaped.
What a great strategy!! Will adopt forthwith!! Thanks so much for sharing your mom’s smartness!!
Great idea!
Simple, and great, idea!
Why I love this little corner of TH-cam. Good suggestion comments followed by supportive replies. Rare these days.
Um Genius Level! I will do this!
Be fearless! In other words, the pie dough can sense your fear 😂!
Chef John fan, too?😊

Apple + butter scotch + butter pie crust = a slice of heaven. Thanks.
Vanilla ice cream is a must with this.
Super easy recipe, looks great
I prefer a nice thick wedge of sharp cheddar! Dairy FTW
Yes!! Hands down my fave dessert. Apple pie and vanilla ice cream

I've never been so anxious for Glen to get to the finished product. This looks soooo good!
I agree. I think I gained 10 pounds just watching this video!
yep. I was waiting to see if he'd do the "I like this" reaction ;)
oh my wow!!! when you poured that scotch mixture over those apples...and then the finished pie...wow
My grandmother made this pie! This episode certainly brought back memories. I hope you enjoyed your time in Oshkosh for the airshow. I live about 4 blocks from the airport and it gets pretty noisy - especially when the jets are in the air.

Also, what to add that your pie was absolutely wonderful looking ❣️🤩
Exactly, some of the best foods are rustic and made by people who just want a good wholesome meal, not a perfect-looking meal.
I've made this a couple of times now (not as pie, but as a crisp). Added more cinnamon. Now this is one of my side of fridge recipes! Thanks
It looks perfect as is.
That being said, I would be so tempted to add a shot or two of whisky and a pinch of cinnamon to the butterscotch mixture. Or apple schnapps instead of the whisky. Only one way to find out!
I am trying to decide to make this today. The only problem is not having the ice cream to go with it. Enjoy watching you on a continuous basis.
That looks... I'm trying not to be hyperbolic and say "fantastic," but that's the only word I can think of. I really love that thickened butterscotch sauce.

Looks great. I would also add a good pinch of salt to the sauce. My favorite apple pie recipe also uses brown sugar, but not that much, lol.
That is a gorgeous pie! Much more appealing than something with a “perfect” lattice top.
Thank you for not being “that kind of person”, it’s why I enjoy watching your videos!
That looks so good. My favorite baking apple is the Jonathon but I haven't seen them in stores for a few years. I like them precisely because the are smaller and so are my hands!
How in the world do you ever choose which recipes to try in all of these books? They must be so full of treasures!
If you want them straight, a quilting ruler and a knife are east to use and easy to clean.
Or the edge of a cookie sheet and a knife or pizza wheel to get the straight line and just eyeball the width.
Looks amazing! I think I might try it without the crust as an ice cream topping. Or waffle topping. Or...
I want to try this one! Might have to wait till I have someone to share it with though!
Glen: "...The crust is easy to roll out..."
Also Glen: *Puts all his weight on the rolling pin while rolling out the crust*
Good show as always thank you kindly. Glen it's amazing all the pounds I put on watch ing your wonderful thank you again.
I made butterscotch pecan ice cream just yesterday, and it would go perfectly on top of this!
And as someone who recently took up baking, I can vouch that making a pie crust is very intimidating at first but gets easier each time.

They're like the original pop tarts, and pretty easy to make,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! My dad and I used to bake on Saturday's, he taught me how to cook and bake. This brought back a lot of memories. Thank you so much 😊
The vinegar in the syrup you cooked the apples in might have acted on the pectin hand helped them keep their shape.
Seven caramel apples baked in a pie 🎶
My oh my. 😋
I cannot think of a more fantastic twist on an old favorite!
Some people are pie artists, and some aren't. You and I aren't, but we don't let that stop us! Pie Good!!
Re: the perfection of the lattice, my dad used to say, "It will all taste good!"
pie crust! yum, my favorite part!

Looks so delicious. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with it yum 😋
¡¡¡Tu canal es fabuloso!!! Thanks Glen 🙌🏾🙂
Looks good! This recipe probably could be made with pears l'll bet! Gonna try it with pears when my pear tree is ready to harvest soon.
Gosh, that looks easy enough, and yummy enough, that I'll actually make it!

My brother brought a store pie, once. It was like this! I have not found this again. But i loved it!
As a pie maker, I want people to think it's hard to make pie pastry. That's half the fun of making pies.
I use gravenstein apples for my apple pies. It's an heirloom apple pie variety with a PHENOMENAL apple flavor! The only downside is that the apples literally dissolve when you cook them. So you kind of end up with junky Apple sauce pie. But the taste is stunning! Out of this world! Everyone in my family loves my apples pies and want me to make them for the holidays.
Oh my gosh, that sauce looks *amazing*
This looks really tasty. I've never made an apple pie before and this may be my first.
Made a lot of your deserts and stew.
They're not too complicating and really delicious, Thank you.
But I'll never try making my own Coca-Cola😅
I'm sure you could add Scotch if you really wanted to though.
"Some apples are for cooking and some are for eating." Yes, with a couple caveats. First, cooking and eating apples are interchangeable. Second, red "delicious" apples are only fit for horses and people you don't like very much.
Nice, I was just thinking of making a apple pie since we just got some apples in the house
This recipe will do nicely
This sounds and looks delicious 🎉
@3:50 my mouth watered. This recipe pleased me.
Looks delicious. I find straight apple pie a bit dull, but I think the "apple scotch" sauce would make it delicious. Perhaps a dash of calvados in the sauce?
Recipe book was published the year before the last time Los Angeles got hit by a tropical storm, 84 years ago
That pie looks wonderful...perfect for the upcoming fall season.
Will have to try this soon . Your Sunday show is a Sunday ritual with my first cup of coffee .
Glen's got a happy dance going on!
This is one fine looking pie!
Awesome video!
My mother used to cook her apples in sugar before putting them in a pie crust because the sugar somehow protects the apple slices and keeps them from getting mushy. I don't know all the chemistry behind it, but it always worked.
It all depends on the type of apple, Bradley go to mush very easily even cooked in sugar!😊
Thanks 4 showing the recipe at the end!!
The recipe is always shown at least twice on screen and also in the description box.
Lol, you are so right...pie crust scares me. This recipe looks so good I am going to have to overcome my fear and try your wonderful butter crust. Thanks Glen. Hi Julie.
Nice pie. Nice encouragement. :D
Looking forward to trying this
I think this would make really good filled cookies.
That sounds stunning!
I will be making this today! Thank you so much for the recipe.
YUM I must try !!
I happen to have a bottle of Calvados on hand. When I make this I'll substitute it for the vanilla.
Oh, come on, use the vanilla, too :-)
When I make pie crust I have chilled everything in the freezer from the stainless steel bowl, the flour, and the butter chunks. I have been known to chill the flouur/butter mixture before adding the ice water.

Mmm, i would mix some homemade apple butter with the butterscotch.
Hooray for pie. (I glanced at the clock when i finished watching this video and it was 3:14😊)
I would probably be inclined to mix the butterscotch with the apples before placing all in the crust, rather than layering. Seems like kind of a big wodge of intense sweetness separate from the fruit. Would mixing be a bad idea for some reason I’m not thinking of?

Hello Glen!! What is the pot you use in this vid? I want one😊
Sounds like you used McIntosh. Small, keep their shape, great for pies!
Oh my Goodness! This pie was awe-----some! My "scotch" was not as thick as Glenn's at first, but it did thicken up a little more. I think that the lattice let moisture out so the Carmel would thicken up more as itbaked. Did not taste the apple cider vinager at all.
An easier way of making the lattice is to lay a piece of parchment on your work surface, then build the lattice on that. When it's ready, you can either slide is onto the pan or flip it carefully. Thus saving yourself a sticky task. :)
When you serve the pie cut two pieces. That is supposedly makes it easier to take out the first piece.
Its in the oven as we speak!!!! Tasted the caramel sauce, it’s going to be sooooo good
