But the work was nearly done and the dough came together fine with just a touch more ice water. I gathered it all up and made two balls to stash in the fridge and mellow out overnight.
When I got home I went back to work on the filling. I did pretty much what I said last time, stewing the apples a little bit, saving the juice, and cooking the thickening flour for a half hour on low in butter. And should note that I do all 4 spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, alspice and cloves. How much of each is none of your business.
I carved my name in the smaller one, and my initials into the big one in case they get lost nobody will eat them behind my back. |
Tasters report to follow.
EDIT: Tasters Report... Crust :flake is good, more delicate than last pie,9+... filling still good zero slump could be sweeter and a bit more spice8+...appearance/glaze 8.,.,. all-in-all good enough to take some effort to perfect the appearance with a nice glass pan or two, keep it up with the glaze, add 1/4 cup more brown sugar, 3/8 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 each of nutmeg, cloves and allspice...and cut the edge 1" wider from the pan and fold it under before crimping..
