Back on May 13th is was National Apple Pie Day, I wrote about my Aunt Janice's French Apple Pie recipe. I got it in the mail today, my Uncle Bill said it was the only copy, and guard it with my life. In other words don't lose it. So here it is.

Aunt Janice's French Apple Pie

In a bowl combine 1/3 c brown sugar, 1/3 c white sugar, 2 t flour and 1/2 t cinnamon. Add 1/4 c raisins and 1 can of White House Sliced Apples( 20 oz can), drained. Pour in the bottom of a pie crust, dot with butter. Add the top crust, flute edges. Bake at 425* for about 30 minutes.

Glaze for top of pie

Add a very small amount of boiling water to 2/3 c of confectioners sugar. Stir until smooth, but still thick. Pour over hot pie and spread evenly. (If you use too much water, it will be thin and lumpy. Discard and start again. You need for it to be thick and smooth.)

barbarainnc,

Thank you so very much for sharing your Aunt's recipe. I simply love family recipes of all kinds and consider them very special.

Now that we've moved to apple country, it'll be interesting to see how many versions of this I can make come apple season.

I finally made my Aunt Janice's French Apple Pie yesterday. Mom and I ate 3 pieces each yesterday and the final two pieces a few minutes ago. All Gone!!!

I got to visit my Aunt Janice this morning and told her I made the pie and it was so good!! Here is the pie crust recipe I used.

9 inch Double Pie Crust

2 cups of all purpose flour (10 oz)

1 t salt

3/4 c Crisco (6oz)

4 T of ice water

Mix the flour and salt and cut in the Crisco with a pastry blender, add the ice water and stir until it comes together. Divide into 2 pieces and make the bottom crust, put in the filling then put on the top crust. Flute the edges and cut 4 slits on top to let the steam out.
