Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
2. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
3. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Zucchini Pie

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in a greased 9-in. pie plate with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of plate to form a crust; seal perforations.
2. In a skillet, saute zucchini and garlic in butter. Add the parsley, dill, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese. Spoon into the crust. Pour eggs over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
