As part of  the countdown to TEXT’s release I thought I would share with you a little something about the main character, Nathan.

Like he is serious about his pie. He loves it. In fact, when I was writing Text I baked pies a lot. Ha ha ha. My family really enjoyed it.

So today I brought along my recipe for Apple Pie. I’m calling it Nathan’s apple pie in honor of my main man in Text. The recipe can also be found in the back of TEXT.

It’s the perfect time of year to bake, eat and enjoy!!

 

A few fun facts about Nathan:

Nathan is a United States Marine.

Nathan works out a lot. He’s hot.

Guns are his hobby and his job.

Nathan’s Apple Pie

 

Ingredients

You can use store-bought crust or you can make your own.

To make a double pie crust: (this is actually my Great Grandmother’s crust recipe. I usually use store bought crust, lol)

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup butter

½ cup shortening

6 tablespoons ice-cold water

 

Apple Pie Filling:

4-8 Granny Smith apples (depends on size)

4 tablespoons cut-up butter

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (Nathan likes lots of cinnamon. This can easily be cut down to taste.)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (This helps the sauce in the pie thicken.)

Directions

To make crust:

Cut together the flour, salt, butter, and shortening with a pastry fork until blended. Add water one Tbsp at a time and mix with fork until it firms into a ball. Separate the ball into two smaller balls. Roll each out onto a heavily floured surface, flipping over frequently. Place one crust in the bottom of a pie pan and reserve the other crust for topping the pie once it is full.

To make filling:

Peel and slice all the apples. Add all slices into a bowl. Mix the apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and flour until well coated. Dump apples into pie crust. Place the 4 tablespoons of cut-up butter around on top of the apples.

Cover the pie with the remaining crust. Crimp the edges together. With a sharp knife, cut a few slits in the top crust (to allow steam to escape while baking), and then you can brush the top of the pie with an egg wash (egg wash = a beaten raw egg). This will give the crust its golden-brown appearance. Also, sprinkle granulated sugar over the top of the crust—which will give the pie a nice flavor and sweetness.

Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes, depending on oven.

Let cool and enjoy!

 

Note: Nathan suggests serving your warm apple pie with a generous helping of French vanilla ice cream.

Cambria recommends enjoying with ice cream AND coffee!!
