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.
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 😊
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.
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!
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 🥧
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!
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.
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!
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 😊
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
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.
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.
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.
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 🍎🍏🍎😊🍏🍎🍏
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 👍
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.
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?
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.
"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.
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.
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
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?😊

@@gilanagelman We never let the food win
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

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.
Seven caramel apples baked in a pie 🎶
My oh my. 😋
oh my wow!!! when you poured that scotch mixture over those apples...and then the finished pie...wow
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 ;)
Re: the perfection of the lattice, my dad used to say, "It will all taste good!"
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

As a pie maker, I want people to think it's hard to make pie pastry. That's half the fun of making pies.
How in the world do you ever choose which recipes to try in all of these books? They must be so full of treasures!
Thank you for not being “that kind of person”, it’s why I enjoy watching your videos!
The vinegar in the syrup you cooked the apples in might have acted on the pectin hand helped them keep their shape.
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!

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.
That is a gorgeous pie! Much more appealing than something with a “perfect” lattice top.
Some people are pie artists, and some aren't. You and I aren't, but we don't let that stop us! Pie Good!!
Glen: "...The crust is easy to roll out..."
Also Glen: *Puts all his weight on the rolling pin while rolling out the crust*

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.

Also almost no one used a 9-10 inch pie, they used 8 inch
I cannot think of a more fantastic twist on an old favorite!
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,
Good show as always thank you kindly. Glen it's amazing all the pounds I put on watch ing your wonderful thank you again.
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 😊
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.
Glen's got a happy dance going on!

It all depends on the type of apple, Bradley go to mush very easily even cooked in sugar!😊
I definitely want to try making this pie. 😋
Gosh, that looks easy enough, and yummy enough, that I'll actually make it!
That looked delicious, surprised it wasn't mushy. Good job!
I'm excited to try this one, butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors. Oh my goodness! Thank You!

I made this pie for American Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! Thank you for sharing.
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.
@3:50 my mouth watered. This recipe pleased me.
¡¡¡Tu canal es fabuloso!!! Thanks Glen 🙌🏾🙂
OMG I would just eat all that Applescotch with a spoon, forget about the pie. Wow.
Oh my gosh, that sauce looks *amazing*

My brother brought a store pie, once. It was like this! I have not found this again. But i loved it!
That looks like a really yummy pie.
Looks so delicious. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with it yum 😋
Will have to try this soon . Your Sunday show is a Sunday ritual with my first cup of coffee .
This is one fine looking pie!
This sounds and looks delicious 🎉
This looks really tasty. I've never made an apple pie before and this may be my first.
Looking forward to trying this
Nice, I was just thinking of making a apple pie since we just got some apples in the house
This recipe will do nicely
I'm sure you could add Scotch if you really wanted to though.
Thanks 4 showing the recipe at the end!!
The recipe is always shown at least twice on screen and also in the description box.

I think this would make really good filled cookies.
Omg that looks amazing!!
YUM I must try !!
I will be making this today! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Wow. Looks yummy
Mmm, i would mix some homemade apple butter with the butterscotch.
That's looks really tasty!
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.
"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.
You could tell early on that this pie was going to be amazing! 🤤
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 :-)
Nice pie. Nice encouragement. :D
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.
Its in the oven as we speak!!!! Tasted the caramel sauce, it’s going to be sooooo good
Sounds like you used McIntosh. Small, keep their shape, great for pies!
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
This would go banging with some Butter Pecan ice cream

Hello Glen!! What is the pot you use in this vid? I want one😊
What is the purpose of the vinegar?
