Recipe Review

21st November 2011

southerncooker from Boomer, NC

I made this crust for the apple pie on page 81. It is a pretty long procedure but the instructions are very helpful. I did make mine by the hand method since my large food processor died and my other one is to tiny to make a double crust in. I'm not the best pie crust maker (my daughter is better) but I found it easy to knead the crust in the gallon zip bag. My kitchen was very warm so rolling between two pieces of plastic wrap helped a bit with the sticking. Baking on the pizza stone worked well and I had a nicely browned flaky (although not the prettiest in the world) pie. My sister said it deserved a blue ribbon though. Love the use of cream cheese along with the butter.
