When I make apple pies, I get a mix of apples from the farmer's market. Different apples mixed make the best pies.
Be fearless! In other words, the pie dough can sense your fear 😂!
Chef John fan, too?😊
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.
@@Jaeler9I agree. Have good energy and hope for the best. 👍
@@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…
@@gilanagelman We never let the food win
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!
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 ;)
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
@@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? 😊
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 🥧
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.
Apple + butter scotch + butter pie crust = a slice of heaven. Thanks.
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.
The vinegar in the syrup you cooked the apples in might have acted on the pectin hand helped them keep their shape.
I'm sure you could add Scotch if you really wanted to though.
Looks amazing! I think I might try it without the crust as an ice cream topping. Or waffle topping. Or...
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 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!
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😅
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!
They're like the original pop tarts, and pretty easy to make,
oh my wow!!! when you poured that scotch mixture over those apples...and then the finished pie...wow
Glen: "...The crust is easy to roll out..."
Also Glen: *Puts all his weight on the rolling pin while rolling out the crust*
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?
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?
Recipe book was published the year before the last time Los Angeles got hit by a tropical storm, 84 years ago
Sounds like you used McIntosh. Small, keep their shape, great for pies!
Good show as always thank you kindly. Glen it's amazing all the pounds I put on watch ing your wonderful thank you again.
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.
"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.
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.
Hello Glen!! What is the pot you use in this vid? I want one😊
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
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 👍
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.
I want to try this one! Might have to wait till I have someone to share it with though!
That is a gorgeous pie! Much more appealing than something with a “perfect” lattice top.
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 😊
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 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 definitely want to try making this pie. 😋
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 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!😊
I'm excited to try this one, butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors. Oh my goodness! Thank You!
That looked delicious, surprised it wasn't mushy. Good job!
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 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.
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
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.
I like McIntosh apples for pies, crisps etc. Sweet apples. My thinking is, if it's supposed to be sweet why add something sour to it
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!
Also almost no one used a 9-10 inch pie, they used 8 inch
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!
Hi Glen, love your channel. Particularly your cake recipes. Is your website under maintenance? Just tried to view it and got a server error
I just couldn't keep up with the website - so It's probably gone for good.
When you serve the pie cut two pieces. That is supposedly makes it easier to take out the first piece.
Im simple and just do a crumble for my pies, much easier and no rolling.
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.
That looks yummy!
As a pie maker, I want people to think it's hard to make pie pastry. That's half the fun of making pies.
Pie dough is a karmic issue for me.... having said that most apples used was about the size of a fist according to my grammy
What would happen if you put the apples in a blender and mixed the apple scotch and apple together. I feel like that would be a good unique pie
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.
Honestly, I think another apple would have been too much for that size pie tin, maybe if you were using a wider or deeper one then another apple or two would be good to fill it out. One change I may have done is heat the thickened syrup a little before assembly and spread a very thin layer on the bottom, then put a layer of the apples on top, then mix the rest of the apples and syrup together before pouring into the shell. But that's just me.
I'm surprised you couldn't finish it off with a bit of egg wash for some shine.
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.
This sounds and looks delicious 🎉
¡¡¡Tu canal es fabuloso!!! Thanks Glen 🙌🏾🙂
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 :-)
Honeycrisp Apples are good for pie
Seven caramel apples baked in a pie 🎶
My oh my. 😋
How in the world do you ever choose which recipes to try in all of these books? They must be so full of treasures!
I cannot think of a more fantastic twist on an old favorite!
3lb of apples is right for my pie pan.
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. :)
That looks like a really yummy pie.
What is the purpose of the vinegar?
That pie looks wonderful...perfect for the upcoming fall season.
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!
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.
My husband is a dessert man. He must have something sweet after dinner every night. I have never seen this pie recipe before! I am going to make it this afternoon. He loves apple pie and butterscotch. How can this go wrong??? My lattice work. That's how. But an ugly pie is still a good pie.
"Not criticize you at the table." Hah. You've luckily never met my sister in law. She would complain that it wasn't perfect, it was too thin in one place and too thick in the other and that it wasn't 'pretty.' When straight told that next time she could make the pies since I can't make them to her standards? She bought pies from the hamburger chain in our area called, Nations, and they are worse than a frozen Sara Lee pie.
OMG I would just eat all that Applescotch with a spoon, forget about the pie. Wow.
Is there a such thing as an "apple sauce" apple pie? Im thinking some form of pureed apple but im not sure how you would make the texture more firm and pleasurable because of all the liquid. Maybe some type of really fine bread crumbs, sort of like apple dumpling but crumb form, mixed up with a thick caramel sauce sort of like the butter scotch here but not like too sweet either.... lol i get so many ideas watching these. I need to try and cook. I just dont know how apple sauce would make a good texture in pie. Sounds sus. I think it would work a lot better with mashed peach. It would need maybe flour in the base to cut the fruit but not like a cake either, maybe a shoefly pie sort of type texture.
Weren't all apples naturally organic in 1938? No nasty chemicals. They could have boiled the peels in that juice to help thicken it when cold.
Thank you for not being “that kind of person”, it’s why I enjoy watching your videos!
I was So hoping, "Jewels" would come in, and say, "Your lattice is loused up😅"
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.
That is one fine looking pie. Don’t waste those leftover pieces of pie dough. Sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar and bake them for a nice snack.
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.
#$%^&*() !! Now I WHAAANT pie. I don't need it but the ...want... nearly has me out the door.
I need to find out where to get those humongous apples they sell candied, on a stick, at the county fair!
6-8 of those should be plenty...
Easy to know how big apples are, remember 1 smurf = 3 apples, so 1 apple = 1/3 smurf, there you go.
I bought this cook book off eBay and of course the Apple.scotch pie page is missing :(
Ok, adding this to my list.
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.
Hooray for pie. (I glanced at the clock when i finished watching this video and it was 3:14😊)
I made this pie for American Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! Thank you for sharing.
Me, an Italian, feeling a lot stupid for never thinking of using a pizza wheel to cut the stripes for pies
I’m dating myself with this reference but “how bout them apples?”
I’ll do it as Banana-butter-scotchpie with a bit lemon 🍌🧈🍋🥃🥧
This looks really tasty. I've never made an apple pie before and this may be my first.
Gosh, that looks easy enough, and yummy enough, that I'll actually make it!
Should get one of those big pizza cutter blades. Much better than wheels.
Re: the perfection of the lattice, my dad used to say, "It will all taste good!"
Does Julia have to wait in the garage while you bake? What is the deal? Pie looks good.
Like you're choice of cider vinegar. Thornbury ring a bell??
