Ingredients: 8-10 servings
5-6 large fresh Fuji apples
1 box(32 oz.) of fresh large strawberries
1/3 cup of white sugar
2 tsp pectin
3 tbsp. cornstarch
2 ready crusts (Marie Callender)
Baking Procedure:
- Set oven temperature to 375F. Skin off Granny apples and slice them in quarter of an inch thin. Wash and cut strawberries in the same width as apples.
- Place sliced apples and strawberries on a large mixing bowl. Add cornstarch and pectin and white sugar, then mix thoroughly to combine.
- Pour the fruit mixture onto the bottom ready crust, remove the second crust from its tray, then cover the apple mix with it.
- Fold the crust edges to seal the pie, using a fork or your fingers. Poke small holes on the top crust using a fork to allow the steam to escape from inside, therefore preventing pie crust to pop and destroy the pie.
- Brush the cover crust with egg yolk. This will produce a shiny brown look on the crust when pie is done. Repeat the same procedure to the extra crusts for excess apples and strawberry mix, if there is.
- Place pie in the middle rack of the heated oven, bake it up to 20-30 minutes or when crust appears golden brown and crusty when perfectly baked.
- Turn off oven and take this deliciously fruity, Apples & Strawberry Pies out. Serve it warm or at room temperature. Cool it off, then slice a piece of the pie when ready to serve.
