Canadian Butter

Last week, when they announced sanctions by the Russian government to prohibit the import of Canadian Butter, all I could think of was what a hardship for the Russian people!  How will they get along without delicious, Canadian Butter??  I don't know why, but Canadian Dairy products are exceptional.  Put a little Canadian Butter into an Apple Pie made with fresh Canadian apples and you have one delicious pie!

I used the above recipe, but omitted the lemon juice and sifted 1 tablespoon of flour into the Cinnamon sugar mixture.

I store shortening in the fridge so that it's nice and cold when I want to make a pie crust.  Once made, divide the dough into two portions, one large (bottom crust) and one small (top crust). Wrap each portion in plastic. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Gently roll out the crust. . .

Apple

Apple Peals

Slice the apples and put into the bottom crust. Sprinkle with the Cinnamon, flour, sugar mixture.  Dot with butter . . .

Roll out the top crust and place on top of the apples.  Crimp edges, pierce the top with a fork. . .

Brush with Cream

Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar

Bake as directed . . . 

Serve and Enjoy

I confess, it's not Ice Cream, it's Canadian Frozen Vanilla Yogurt.  DELICIOUS!!
