This has to be one of the easiest apple pies to make. What is great about Jamie’s recipes is the flexibility…. You can substitute cranberries with your favorite dried fruit. I also soak the dried fruit to plump them up, and use whiskey! I have used wheat and gluten free flour for celiac friends, and it still tastes amazing. I use Baileys instead of the milk for creaminess. Seriously easy cooking, and the house smells amazing during the baking! You will never buy store bought apple pie again. One thing… NEVER forget the lemon, it absolutely lifts the pastry to a new level.

It looks great! I spend Thanksgiving out in the country at my fiance’s uncle’s house, with about a gazillion people, many of whom are farmers. I don’t know if I could take an apple pie – it would only feed maybe 1/5 of the people who are there. I usually take slightly spicy fudge (added cinnamon and a tiny bit of chile powder) or walnut brownies. Might try the pie for the more private Xmas celebration, though, which is for fewer than 8 people.

I checked “Jamie’s Dinners” out of the library, but never did get around to making anything from it. Reacquainting myself, right now, with HT Cook Everything, The New Best Recipe, and our old Pillsbury Family Cookbook, which we used as the basis for delicious maple-braised pork chops this past week. :)

You can definitely notice the lemon, but it’s subtle. It makes the pie taste… light? I’m sure you could use a bit less if it’s not your thing!

Is it lemony at all? I’m always hesitant to try recipes that call for lemon or lemon zest because I don’t like a lemony/citrusy flavor. But it looks and sounds DELICIOUS!
