When Morgan was little, and my only child, we joined some friends camping and they made some of those little camper pies. Morgan loved them and kept asking me to make some for him. Well, we were not camping, and there's an ordinance against fires in the city if you don't have a fire place, so what do I do? Read more ? Thank heavens for 'Redbook' I found this recipe and it made my little boy a happy camper!! Ingredients:
1 - 21oz can apple pie filling, undrained and coarsly chopped |
1 tart apple (we like granny smith) cored and chopped - about 1 1/2 cups |
1/2 cup raisins (or, crasins, chasins or blasins -- dried cranberries, cherries or blueberries) |
1/2 c coarsly chopped walnuts or pecans (you know me and pecans) |
2 tsp grated lemon peel - fresh is best |
2 15oz pks all ready pie crusts |
flour for work surface |
yolk of 1 large egg lightly beaten with 2 tsp water |
sugar as needed ( i like the the large crystal or raw sugar best) |
creamy lemon sauce -- (gotta find that one, sorry, or use your own) |
