2 Delicious And Homey Apple Recipes Just Like Grandma’s

Even before during the olden times, apples have been playing a very important role in history especially way back during the biblical era. An apple pie is also a very important American symbol and to this day it is 1 of the more famous fruits.

Here are some old-fashioned apple dishes that you will surely enjoy and for sure you will be transported back to the days when you used to watch your grandma cook in your kitchen while you wait for the finished product for that delightful apple snack.

Apple Filled Dumplings

Ingredients:

Pastry (enough for that “2-crust” pie)
6 pcs medium-sized apples (tart)
1 c sugar
3 tbsps + 1 tbsp butter
2 c water
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

Blend together cinnamon & sugar for it to generously fill up the cavities in each of your apples. Oven should be preheated to around 425 deg. F.

Onto a lightly floured flat surface then roll out your pastry thinly then slice it into 7 inch squares. Apples should then be pared and cored.

Into a saucepan, boil cinnamon, 3 tbsps of the butter, water and sugar for about 3 mins. Put 1 apple onto each pastry square then fill its cavities with sugar & cinnamon mixture. Then dot the apples with 1 tbsp of the butter.

Next, bring the opposite portions of your pastry up on your apple then overlap them. Moisten the pastry to seal it up. Lifting carefully, put the apples a bit apart from each other in your baking pan then pour hot syrup all around the dumplings.

Then, bake in your oven for about 40-45 mins at around 425 deg. F. just until the crust turns a nice golden brown and the apples become tender.

Pecan-Apple Pie

Spread out 1/4 c of pecans that have been chopped onto an unbaked 9 inch pie crust.

Then blend together 1 c of sugar, a tbsp of flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 5-6 c apples that have been peeled and chopped. Put this mixture on top of your pecans inside your pie crust and dot the 2 tbsps butter on top.

Next, top your pie with this crumbly mixture which is composed of:

1/4 c butter
1/3 c flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c sugar (brown)
1/4 c pecans; chopped

Bake inside your 425 deg. oven for about 45 mins. or just until the apples become tender.

These recipes are really old-fashioned ones that would do justice to your kitchen as well as to your cooking skills. Just be patient and have lots of fun when making these dishes. Also, if you have kids then they might enjoy helping you in your kitchen too. Enjoy!
