So I love making pies, and theres a family in our ward that just had their baby on tuesday so I'm making them dinner and thought I would make a fun dessert too. Our ward also just split so its like a whole new ward, there are families that came from our old ward so we know a few people. I think thats not fun when you're about to give birth cause you don't know anyone and you totally need help and no one even knows you or that your prego or when your due and stuff, so I've been keeping tabs on these guys to make sure they dont fall through the cracks. Anyways, I made chocolate apple pie, I know its not a very taditional pie so I hope they like it, but its super yummy. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested.
CHOCOLATE CHIP APPLE PIE
Pastry for 2 crust pie (see below)
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Cinnamon sugar
6-8 tart apples (peeled, cored & thinly sliced 6 c.) (can also be replaced with to cans of Apple pie filling)
Combine sugar and ground cinnamon; mix with apples. Turn into an unbaked pie shell. Top with chocolate pieces. Cover with top crust, cutting slits for escape of steam. Seal; flute edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
PLAIN PIE PASTRY:
2 c. sifted flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. shortening
4-6 tbsp. cold water
Sift flour and salt together and cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender. Add water, using only a small portion at a time, until mixture will hold together. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll out on floured board.
Line pie pan with 1 piece, being careful not to stretch dough. After filling is placed in pastry, dampen edges with cold water and cover with remaining dough which has been rolled out and slashed in several places to allow steam to escape while baking. Press edges together with prongs of fork and bake according to recipe for filling
