Crust Recipe
FAST & EASY CRUST RECIPE - My mom
Blend together: 1 3/4 c. flour, 1/2 c. oil, 1/2 c. cold water and 1 tsp baking powder.
Apple Pie
Make your crust (see the crust recipe included in this page), cut it in half, roll one out and lay it in your pie pan – make sure it’s not thicker than 1/8 inch and poke some holes on the bottom with a fork.
Cut about 6 big apples (thin, long pieces) and keep them in a bowl filled with water and some lemon juice.
In a bowl, mix 1 c. of sugar + 2 Tbls flour + 1/2 tsp of cinnamon + 1/4 tsp of salt + 1 Tbls of vinegar.
Now drain your apples and dump them in the dry mixture you just made.
Put the apples in your pie pan, roll out the other half of your dough and cover your apples. Make sure to poke some holes on the top to ensure that your pie doesn’t overflow. Pinch your dough (all around) with the back of a knife or something like that to create a pattern and more importantly to help the pie stay together.
Unbaked Cheery Cheese Cake
Mix 1 1/4 c. graham breadcrumbs (or you can actually just crush 8-9 graham crackers…) with 1/4 c. of melted butter in your pie pan. Equally distribute the crumbs without pressing on the plate.
Make some whip topping (use a dream whip packet, follow the instructions they give you) and put it in the fridge.
Whip 7 oz. of cream cheese and 1/4 c. of sugar together.
When the above mixture is smooth, add your whip top. to it and mix it together just a little.
Now you can add your white mixture on to the graham crumbs in your pie pan.
Finally, open a can of cherries (the ones you use for baking) and add the whole can on top of the white mixture.
And it’s ready to be eaten!
