Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
• for crust: mix flour and salt in large mixing bowl. pour oil and water into measuring cup - do not stir. add liquids all at once to flour mixture. stir with a fork until just moistened. form dough into a ball.
• roll between 2 sheets of waxed paper, forming a 14 x 12-inch rectangle. note: dampen work area by wiping with a wet dish cloth to prevent wax paper from slipping. place waxed paper covered crust on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
• for filling: combine apples, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, corn syrup and apple juice in a large bowl. mix until all apples are coated.
• spray inside of jar with cooking spray. portion apples into jars, filling to the top. remove top layer of waxed paper from pie crust. cut a circle the size of the jar (the jar lid makes a great template). cut out center of crust with a small decorative cookie cutter. carefully peel crust from waxed paper and place on filling. repeat with remaining jars. (only about half of the crust will be used. place in a large plastic bag to freeze for later use).
• sprinkle pies with 1 teaspoon sugar. place pies on a baking sheet. bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crust is lightly browned and apples are tender.
