>>21588326

>>21589354
Looks pretty good. Personally, I like my apple pie with more sauce but I'd eat a slice of this for sure.

the only thing i grow in my backyard is contempt

>>21588137
Nice. I've never made an apple pie that turned out well. It always comes out with too much liquid, or not enough flavor, or the apples are over/undercooked.

>>21589368
It tastes better than it looks, some of the pie retained whole discernable apple slices, but yes I did cook the apples a bit too much.

It's not dry by any means, and the apples taste really good, they're Bramley apples.

i par-baked the apples in a splash of lemon juice + water and a sprinkle of sugar, covered them with tinfoil and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes at 180c because i didnt want them to be undercooked in the pie, these are apples still left over after i baked the pie btw

>>21588088 (OP)
Not a pie, it's square.

Apples I still have left over even though I used about this much for the pie in question.

There are literally hundreds, or thousands of apples from our two trees each fucking year and I used to spend hours throwing them out

>I used to spend hours throwing them out
theres a special place in hell for you

>>21589383
Nice. Yea I didn't want to be rude but it does look at bit dry. I guess the photo isn't doing it proper justice.

>bramley
Never heard of those before. I once had an apple that was pink inside and tasted really good.

>>21589505
Bramley applies are "cooking apples" in the UK, basically inedible raw and much larger than regular apples. They are more juicy than a regular apple too and I suppose that's why they're given the name cooking apples as well, we've had this huge apple tree in our back garden all of my life, i think it's at least 80 years old at this point.

>>21589397
But I thought PIE ARE SQUARE

>>21589521
Interesting. I've tried a home grown apple before and it was much different than typical store bought. Way more cruncher and dense. Maybe it was just that type, or it wasn't fully developed, idk.

What do you typically make to put those apples to proper use? I could imagine apple getting old in your household haha.

>>21589530
Yeah they need to ripen to be tasty, we do literally nothing to care for these apple trees and even the smaller, red edible apples taste just as good if not better than the ones I can buy in a store, once they're actually ripe, you can leave them in the fridge for a few days or weeks to ripen without them going rotten.

Literally used to just make apple crumbles which is an apple pie but much less effort, but the majority of them never got put to use. I am looking to change that as this apple pie was actually tasty and there is nothing wrong with these apples.

I am thinking of making several pies a year, also jarred apple sauce, I wanted to brew cider from them but I lack the equipment

>>21589530
Home grown apples depend entirely on the tree. Grown from seed they apples are going to be essentially random but most of the genetic space for apples are sour, not sweet. So they are more likely to random into shit apples. Known vareities are grown by grafting a good varety onto the trunk of a whatever one; literally taking a branch, cutting the younger tree down, and slotting them together.

>>21588088 (OP)
Looks amazing, well done.

thanks guys

>>21589400
Juice them, give them to homeless shelters, bake more

>>21589379
You needa cook the apples first and add more cornstarch or flour as needed. Then you need to put the pie in a metal tin or bottom oven rack with a top cover.

I've never had a liquid problem, flavor problem 100% which is why I dump extra butter, sugar, honey on top.

>>21590406
Filling looks nice and dense with apples, I don’t like the store ones where they cheap out and have lots of non-apple goo

>>21588088 (OP)
I wish I could make an apple pie with home-grown apples, but my asshole neighbors chopped down their apple tree last year.

>>21589521
>Bramley Apples.
They are the Best Cooking Apples in the UK.

Like you said, they are WAY too sour to eat raw, you are pretty much restricted to using them for Pies, Crumbles and Apple Sauce for pork, etc.
This time of year we also have loads of Blackberries, my Mum and Grandmother used to make Apple/Blackberry Crumble quite often.

I suppose you could go a bit left-field and try Apple Strudel ?

Your pie looks by the way, I hope you hade some nice creamy custard to go with it?

>>21589551
I wanted to plant an avocado tree once but I was told not to since it's a city area and fruit trees tend to attract rats, which can cause problems for the property and neighbors.

Cider is really good but yea, you need proper equipment and you're dealing with potential mold and all that. I know apple butter is a thing. I've never tried it but supposedly it's really good.

>>21589565
Ah, that makes sense. I know about tree grafting, but I've never really had the luxury of having a tree with fruits in a backyard. I mean, there's a lemon tree I can reach but not too many are available and it just feels weird picking fruit off the neighbors tree. So idk what home grown fruits are typically like. Been spoiled with mass produced farming and all that.

>>21588088 (OP)
nice

i think your husband is a lucky guy
