    Deep Dish Apple Pie and Mile High Apple Pie

    I thought I was done with apples for awhile but then I remember a few other apple items I wanted to share.

    First of all, for anyone near Tuolumne, California (east of Modesto), you need check out Cover's Apple Ranch.  This is about as close to Amish in California as you'll get, this is a ranch run by a Plain sect of German Baptist Brethren. One of these signature dishes is their "mile high apple pie", which is described by "See California" as:

    The apple pie recipe is relatively simple and traditional, but the magic is in the hand stacking and packing of apple slices into a huge mound shaped like a mountain. You're getting more fresh apples per bite and less of the crust--the ideal pie for those who (love apples)

    You'd think with as popular as that pie is that you could find a better photo online than this, but the above is from See California, that is the best I could do.  But, man, look at that pie...can you imagine cutting into that??

    The opposite of a mile high pie is a deep dish apple pie and those are popular in Amish kitchens also.

    Deep dish apple pie. Yum.

    Check out the following recipe from a Fannie Farmer cookbook, but the recipe is almost identical ones I've seen Amish kitchen.

      Thank you so much for all these recipes!!! They all look so good. This one: Deep Dish Apple Pie and Mile High Apple Pie seems to be missing something at the end. it says to cook at 450 degrees for 10 minutes... was there supposed to be something after that?

      Thanks again!
      Jackie

        Welcome, Jackie...and thanks for catching that, I'll have to correct...is supposed to say for 10 minutes and then reduce to 350 and bake for 30 more minutes or until crust is golden.
