Apple Pie

[@adelekan8920]

Looks like a great apple pie.... always look forward to the end result and your taste test... nothing like a man who likes his food :-)

Hi Adele. Thanks very much. I did enjoy the pie, I must admit.

[@yvonnegillman5095]

I will give this version of apple pie a go. Never seen syrup or oats used and eating apples instead of Brambley cookers! Looks delicious. Love the shirt too, very trendy!😊

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Yvonne. I hope you enjoy it. Glad you like the shirt, I do like to keep up with trends LOL.

What a lovely apple pie. When I was growing up, the orchards in our region produced Macintosh apples so that’s what my Mom used. The apples in the pie were cooked through, no apples with a “bite” in our pies. This of course, goes against all pie baking wisdom to use eating apples instead of cooking apples. Your pie looks like a great combo for baking especially with the addition of corn starch and the ingredients on the bottom crust.

Hi Sue Shannon. Thanks very much. I usually would use Bramley apples, which are the most commonly used cooking apple in the UK. They are perfect for pies. But since I didn't have any but had my favourite 'eaters' I decided to use those. I have used Braeburns for baking before so I knew they would be good. I have never tried McIntosh, which is read originates from Canada. If I ever get over there again I shall have to try them.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Soyeon Kim. That is good. I hope you enjoy the apple pie. Remember you can put a little cinnamon and nutmeg in for extra flavour if you wish. I am pleased that your mother enjoyed the cookies too.

[@soyeonkim6581]

Geoff Cooper Okay. I will put in cinnamon and nutmeg to pie filling. Actually yesturday I bought nutmeg flour the first time in my life. But I have mistake to nutmeg options checking. So- they’re give to me a box of nutmeg flour(6 bottles) today OTL. if you live near here...I wish I’d shared it with you......haha😭

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@soyeonkim6581 Hi Soyeon Kim. If you do wish to use the spices 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg will be enough. They are strong flavours, so not too much.

[@soyeonkim6581]

Geoff Cooper thanks alot Geoff. :) I’ll try to make the apple pie very soon follow your recipe, put in 1tsp of cinnamon and 1/4tsp of nutmeg flour.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Marshall, Thanks very much. I hope that it works for you when you try the oats etc.

Although eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase "as American as apple pie" describes something as being "typically American". In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. By the late 14th century, apple tarts and pies were a common delicacy in England -- albeit, they were quite different than modern pies. Due to the scarcity and high cost of sugar (which cost two shillings per pound, or about US$50 per pound in 2014 dollars) in today's prices), English apple pies did not contain crust, and were instead served in “coffins”, or inedible pans made from natural ingredients. Thanks for the video.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Yes indeed. I believe that Europeans actually introduced apple trees to the Americas too.

[@brucebowen100]

@@geoffsbakingblog Apples were introduced to North America by colonists in the 17th century, and the first apple orchard on the North American continent was planted in Boston by Reverend William Blaxton in 1625. The only apples native to North America are crab apples, which were once called "common apples".

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@brucebowen100 I thought I recalled reading that. I believe some trees were from the UK, but other countries such as Germany also planted trees.

I love History, thanks to you both for the insight.

Hello there that's a deascent looking apple 🍏 pie. I hate the ones all mushed up like a purie inside. Well done. Ice-cream 🍦 and apple 🍏 pie yum.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Miss Dream. Yes this one has nice slices of juicy apple, just as i like. Unfortunately I never have ice-cream, so I make do with cream or custard.

[@missmaryhdream6560]

@@geoffsbakingblog couldn't you have a bash at ice cream. That would be great

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@missmaryhdream6560 OH yes I could. Ir is just something I never bother to buy, I do like it though.

[@aliencat11]

The mix of apples will always add to the flavors. I'm going to try the crust for my next (not apple) pie. Thanks again for the video. Stay well.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Mary. You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy the pastry crust.

[@beckyneopolitan8945]

Could you make corned beef hash would love to see your version!

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Becky, I will certainly think about doing that. I haven't had corned beef hash since I was a child, and don't have particularly fond memories of it. But that may have been how in was made. These days my palate has changed so it might be worth a another taste.

[@beckyneopolitan8945]

Geoff Cooper Thank you, Every one has their own way of making it so why not try doing it your way, you don’t have to stick to recipes!

[@suhaani7]

Hello. Can i use honey instead of golden syrup? Going to try this recipe soon :)

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Suhaani. Yes you can use honey instead of the golden syrup.

[@pauldoyle1864]

Can beat a classic

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Paul, not sure if you meant can or can't. But certainly apple pie is a classic.

[@neesargon3497]

Oh Geoff. It's a first. You've disappointed me. Didn't you know that it's against the law to make an apple pie using any apples other than English Bramleys? Tut tut.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Nees, I have always been a bit of a rebel, LOL. I do like a Bramley apple pie, though they aren't really Bramley's at all. He simply bought the house where a girl and planted some seeds that grew into those apples. When a local wanted to take cuttings and grown them on to sell the apples the new owner agreed provided they were sold as Bramley's which was his name, apparently.
