Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup Mazola® Corn Oil
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- Apple Filling
- 4 to 5 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 6 cups salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup, light
- 2 tablespoons apple juice
- 6 wide-mouthed 1/2 pint jelly jars
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Step 1) Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Step 2) For crust: Mix flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Pour oil and water into measuring cup - do not stir. Add liquids all at once to flour mixture. Stir with a fork until just moistened. Form dough into a ball.
- Step 3) Roll between 2 sheets of waxed paper, forming a 14 x 12-inch rectangle. Note: Dampen work area by wiping with a wet dish cloth to prevent wax paper from slipping. Place waxed paper covered crust on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Step 4) For filling: Combine apples, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, corn syrup and apple juice in a large bowl. Mix until all apples are coated.
- Step 5) Spray inside of jar with cooking spray. Portion apples into jars, filling to the top.
- Step 6) Remove top layer of waxed paper from pie crust. Cut a circle the size of the jar (the jar lid makes a great template). Cut out center of crust with a small decorative cookie cutter. Carefully peel crust from waxed paper and place on filling. Repeat with remaining jars. (Only about half of the crust will be used. Place in a large plastic bag to freeze for later use).
- Step 7) Sprinkle pies with 1 teaspoon sugar. Place pies on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crust is lightly browned and apples are tender.
- Freezer Tip: Place lid on unbaked pies and freeze. To bake, remove from freezer and remove lid. Place in cold oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 400°F.
