It's not Pyrex brand but they are baking pans. I have had a glass serving tray shatter into pieces when I put hot spaghetti in it before, ruined lunch for 10.

eh, yes. I meant water, not butter!

It's super easy. I just used
200g flour
100g very cold butter
1/4 cup ice water (used a bit less, really)
A pinch of salt.

I cheated and used a food processor to cut the butter into the flour until it looked like bread crumbs. And just add a tablespoon of butter at a time until it holds together.

Cut it in half, flatten into rounds and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. I made mine about 36 hours in advance.

Just make sure you bring it back to room temp for rolling.

I baked the pies at 425F/220C for 50 minutes but your mileage may vary since I baked them both at once.

I just had a slice of the crumble and it was outrageous! The apples are lovely and acidic and cooked perfectly, and the crust is really flaky and delicious. I was worried maybe the juices would soak the bottom and make it soggy but it was just perfect! So happy!

Thanks! It came out well, if I do say so myself. Happy to share the recipe if you fancy

>>4351651
Yeah I baked them right in the glass things. And I brushed egg white on the crust and sprinkled granulated sugar on top. Will be eating it a la mode shortly!

No, I used a recipe for the filling I got online. Happy to share though.
Per pie:
6 granny smith apples
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Juice of one lemon

Peel and slice the apples.
In a bowl mix the lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add the apple slices and stir until they are all well coated.
Let it sit for up to 3 hours (I let it sit overnight because I didn't have 3 hours to spare this morning)
Drain well and sprinkle cornstarch on the apples until its dissolved completely.
Add the butter to the apple juices and bring to a boil. Let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
Mix juices with the apple slices and you are ready to fill your crust!

Thanks. I was a little intimidated but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The crust looks really flaky, I hope it tastes good.

And here's the other one

Thanks to all the anons that gave me tips for making apple pie the other day. I made two and they both came out really good! I only had enough dough to cover one of them so I made a crumb topping for the other. They are cooling down right now and smell delightful!

Let it cool all the way, coat it with a very thin layer of icing (crumb coat) and stick it in the fridge for a bit. Then ice properly.

Making two pies and freezing one is a great idea, it wont be much more effort to make an extra one once I'm in it.

Making an apple pie for the first time for my mother's birthday. I am a bit intimidated by the crust and all. I'm sure I can find a recipe on Google, but do any of you have any tips? And if you have a really awesome recipe do post it too!

I like their garden patties, they dont try to be meat and they are still pretty good. Their beef substitute is awful

me me!

Why in the name of FUCK would you use the french name for something that isn't french? It's called Biskotxa

>>4329037
That's the same thing.

I'm usually a lager person but I recently moved and there's a really awesome brewery near my house that has an incredible dark ale I LOVE. I could drink their Full Boar Scotch Ale all day, every day.

Digging the salad, sounds awesome

Fantastic, thank you!

>>4094832
Lovely, cheers

>>4094806
Recipe for the cornbread?

>>4094712
Oh please do! Specially for stuffing and zucchini and spinach gratin

>>4094660
That sounds great

Cooking only for two this Christmas, probably going to just roast a chicken. What would be some good, festive sides to go with it? I'm open to other suggestions for the main course, too.

Actually you're so, so wrong. 8oz of fat free froyo (most self serve places have either fat free or very low fat, no full fat) is only about 250 Calories. The place I get my frozen yogurt from has caloric values of all the items on display so you don't overdo it. Some shit, like this ridiculous hazelnut sauce, is high as fuck in calories, but a lot of the other stuff is not bad at all, in moderation, of course.

Now, gummy bears would go hard with the cold and goldfish are just fucking bullshit, but granola is delicious on froyo.
