What’s an “Unconventional” Apple Pie?
We consider an apple pie “unconventional” when it contains ingredients you don’t find in an ordinary apple pie recipe.
So what are those, specifically?
As any good cook can tell you, ordinary apple pie traditionally has a top and bottom crust made of white wheat flour, butter or shortening, water, and salt. The traditional type of filling is made of apples, sugar, spices (like cinnamon and nutmeg), a few dots of butter, a bit of some kind of thickener (like flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot), and maybe a hint of lemon zest. And there you have it! Good ol’ American apple pie!
Adding ingredients other than those ordinarily found in the crust or filling takes the pie to a whole new level. And that’s what makes the pie “unconventional,” by our definition.
Would it be helpful to see an example of a recipe for an apple pie that would satisfy the requirements for this contest?
Our Social Media Marketing Manager, Anna, has agreed to share her favorite apple pie recipe (see below). What makes Anna’s pie unconventional? The crust has cheddar cheese in it! And it is, oh so good!
We can’t wait to find out what’s in YOUR apple pie!
So, send us your favorite “unconventional” apple pie recipe, along with a photo, and maybe you’ll be the lucky winner of a $25 Homesteader’s Supply Gift Certificate!
