Oven-Fried Apple Pies
two 6-1/2 oz. pkg. Martha White Pizza Crust Mix
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. water
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Dried Apple Filling:
6 oz. dried apples
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
melted butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a large baking sheet. Combine pizza crust mix, water, and butter in mixing bowl, stir to blend. Turn dough out onto lightly floured board or pastry cloth, knead gently just until smooth. Divide dough in half. Divide each half into 8 pieces. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. of filling into center of each circle. Fold top half of circle over bottom half, moistening edges very lightly to seal. Crimp edges with a floured fork. Pierce top of pie with fork several times to vent. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Cool slightly before serving--filling will be hot. These are best when served warm.

2 cup mixed berries, such as strawberries, blueberries raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
pastry for 9" double crust pie

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Peel peaches, if you wish. Slice into 1/2" wedges. Then cut each wedge into 3 pieces. They should measure about 3 cups. Place in a large bowl. If using large strawberries, slice into 1/4 inch thick pieces. Halve small strawberries. Place in a measuring cup. Add other berries to make 2 cups. Add berries to peaches. Finely grate 1 tsp. orange peel. Place in a small bowl with 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice. If using tapioca, for 20 minutes to softened. Then add sugar and nutmeg and mix well to break up tapioca. Pour over fruit and toss until well distributed. If using cornstarch, stir with orange peel, sugar and nutmeg. Then add to fruit along with 1/4 cup orange juice. Toss well and set aside. Meanwhile, roll out half the pastry and fit in a 9 inch pie plate. Trim edges to 1 inch beyond rim of plate. Do not prick bottom. To prepare lattice crust, roll remaining dough into a 10" circle, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1/2 inch wide strips. Turn filling into prepared crust. Place half the strips over filling about 1 inch apart. Repeat with remaining strips, placing them in opposite direction to form a diamond pattern. Trim strips so they are even with edge of pie. Then bring overhanging bottom crust up and over lattice strips. Gently press together to seal edges then flute. Beat egg in a small bowl with 2 tsp. water. Brush pastry with egg mixture. Bake on bottom rack of preheated 425ºF oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350ºF and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden.

Peach Pie with Almond Crumble Topping
from Cooking Live Show, Food Network
sweet dough for 1 crust pie
Topping:
1 cup all-purpose bleached flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup sliced almonds
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
3 pounds firm, ripe, yellow fleshed free stone peaches, about 8 or 9 medium peaches
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose bleached flour
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
2 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter

To make topping: Combine flour, sugar and nutmeg in a mixing bowl; stir well to mix and stir in sliced almonds. Stir in butter evenly. Set aside for 5 minutes, then, using your fingertips, break the mixture into 1/4 to 1/2" crumbs. Set aside again while you prepare the filling. Preheat oven to 400ºF. and set racks at middle level. Roll out bottom crust and arrange in 9" Pyrex plate. To make filling: Peel the peaches by cutting a cross in the blossom end of each and dropping them three at a time into a pan of boiling water. Remove after 20 or 30 seconds with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drop them into a bowl of ice water. If the peaches are ripe, the skin will slip off easily. If it does not, remove the skin with a sharp stainless steel paring knife. (If you peel it with a knife, include an extra peach for what you have peeled away.) Hold each peeled peach gently in your left hand over a mixing bowl (if you are left handed reverse.) With a stainless steel paring knife make a cut through to the pit, from stem to blossom end. Make another cut about 3/4" to the right of the first one along the outside of the peach. Angle the knife blade back so the cuts meet at the pit. Twist the knife blade upward slightly as a wedge of peach will fall into the bowl. Continue in the same manner around the peach, cutting it into 8 to 10 wedges. Discard the pit and repeat with remaining peaches. Add remaining ingredients, except the butter, to the peaches and stir gently with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour filling into the prepared pastry shell and smooth. Dot with the butter. Scatter the crumb topping evenly over the filling. Place pie on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350ºF. and move pie to the middle rack. Bake another 30 minutes, or until the crust and crumble are a deep golden and the juices are just beginning to bubble up. Cool the pie on a rack and serve warm or room temperature.
