From now on this blog will never mention politics, or people, or my pathetic life. It's all too sad and frustrating. So from this day forth The Daily Droid will be a cooking blog since, and this is the last thing I will say about myself, I am a great cook and excellent baker. Today we will learn how to bake an apple pie. It will be the best apple pie you've ever made.
There was a time when I made my own crust, which is a pain in the ass but some people think it tastes better if you make everything "from scratch." I was one of those until Pillsbury came out with their product (see photo) and it's better than you can do yourself, trust me. So just buy that and follow the directions on the package.
1. Gather apples of several varieties, since using only one kind of apple makes for a dull pie.) Between 8 and 10 will do nicely, depending on the size of the apples and how high you want your pie to be.
2. Peel and core apples, then slice very thin.
3. Toss them in a bowl with lots of sugar and cinnamon.
4. Fill the bottom crust with the apples, then dot them all over with little pieces of butter.
5. Carefully cover the apples with the top crust, making sure the two crusts meet and seal to avoid spillage of the juices as the pie bakes.
6. Slit the top crust in several paces with a sharp knife, and sprinkle sugar all over it.
7. Bake according to the directions on the pie crust box.
If you want to go rogue, SPRINKLE A HANDFUL OF RAISINS OVER THE APPLES or squeeze some lemon juice all over before applying the top crust.
