Some foods have remained unchanged for 100s of years and there is a reason why. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

The flour used today is Rouge de Bordeaux, a flour that originated in the Bordeaux region of France. This flour became popular in the 1800s. This is likely one of the varieties of flour that was grown and sold here in 1800s Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. This region was the bread basket of America due to wheat being one of the most common crops of the area. Still to this day when you drive here you may notice the many winter wheat fields that border the town. This flour was grown and milled locally by my friends Jason & Jennifer Duensing. They sell their flour as well as the seeds at Fort de Chartres.
Apple Pie. Make for someone that you love, including oneself ❤
Apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2/3 cup sugar
1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of flour
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons of butter
cream & sugar for dusting on top
Peel, core and slice your apples being sure to not cut them too thick or too thin. Place them in a bowl and over them add your sugar, cinnamon, flour and water. Give it a good mix till the apples are evenly coated in the above mixture. Place in a pie plate that has had a pie crust laid down. Dot the top with dabs of butter. Cover with a top crust. Brush the top crust with cream then throw on a thin dusting of sugar. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. This is so good! This is the only apple pie recipe that I need.
An excellent pie crust (enough for 2 pies with a top & bottom crust. You may freeze whatever you don't use)
3 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup of cold butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. of vinegar
1 cup of cold water, more or less
In a deep bowl combine your flour and salt. Cut up some cold butter into cubes to make it easier to work with. Add the butter to your flour and work it into the flour using a fork and a knife (or a pastry cutter) until you have beads of butter spread throughout the flour that are no larger than peas. This can take a few minutes. Once you have worked the butter into the flour add in an egg, vinegar and finally your cold water. Add the water in a little bit at a time as you may need more or less than 1 cup just depending on the variety of flour that you are using. For example, whole wheat flours tend to require more liquid than white flours. Work up well with your hands. On a well floured surface roll it out thin.
I'm surprised you didn't use Quince apples!
Might be a "chicken" pot pie in the future….🤣
❤❤❤
Love apple pies 🥧
What’s the vinegar for ?
how much ?
how much sugar ?
Oh my goodness Justine those pies look wonderful. I could almost smell them. Took me back to my nan's apple pies & made me want to make one for my grand daughter. Your channel is a marvel ! You should really consider doing a Patreon site where you could share tips on how to use a dutch oven etc…. You both put so much effort into your channel that you deserve more than subscribers. Love from the French Pyrenees. Btw, I can't find you address for sending a Christmas card. xxxx
Merci !
Gracious, Justine! 🤩 I need to spend a good week with you learning to cook like you do! Simply beautiful, as always! 💜🥰
❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting concept – vinegar in pie crust. I did have one question. You indicated, in the drama , that you had spent most of your money on feeding Ro. Wouldn't a pioneer have lived off the land? I could see you buying a cow for milk with the money. Maybe a bull to have calves?
Girl, you got chickens in there with you😅
Tell your alarm clock to shut up. It's not morning anymore. Grab a broomstick and hit that snooze button, lol.
@EarlyAmerican Do you take requests? If so, can you demonstrate how a Christmas pudding is made? There's a receipt from your time period in The Housekeeper's Book 1837.
Thanks
Gurl, I know you didn’t just eat some raw flour! Eww!
Quality control is key Justine! I think you ought to taste everything you so meticulously prepare. Will the rooster be chicken and dumplings someday? I am from coal country in Appalachia. I love some chicken and dumplings!
The cup that you use to measure is that equivalent to 1 cup measure?
The Rooster Battle, LOL!
The way you snuck that fork out of the top of your apron with such a mischievous grin! <3
Those pies look delicious and don't bother about the rooster crowing. For me, it would be better to listen to him, rather than cars honking or people screaming.
Thank you, Justine, for the recipe.
I really just read it as, "Baking pies in the forest fire" 😭
I'm impressed with your effort, and to make it even better, I'd like to invite you to send KHAL one of your own cooking tutorial videos.
****************
But i love to here rooster's crow!
🪷🍃💝👍🍃🥰👈
Обожаю ваши видео моя мочта такой дом в лесу❤❤❤❤удачи и спасибо за все все видео❤❤❤❤
Those look delicious. And the process really isn't that complicated. Just time consuming. Thanks for sharing with us. And give an extra treat to Mishmish for supervising. Cats are good at that.
Would be funny to have that rooster crow one more time at the very end of this video.
Those pies looked delicious
💟
The rooster had the only talking part. The pies looked great.
Mish Mish has gotten so big! Love seeing the 😺 in your video's.
Me, a Frenchman finding out a town in america has preserved French heritage despite Spanish and British control 🥺🥺
I live in a big and busy city in Brazil. Too distant from this reality but your videos bring me a such peace. I wish I would like a simple and slow life like this. Like my grandparents lived in the farm. ❤😢
My favorite yt channel❤
Having only discovered your channels a few days ago, and now, having binge watched much of your content, I can earnestly write to inform you what you surely already know. Your channels are, all at once, comforting/cozy, inspiring, fascinating, humorous, cheerful, and bright.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you. I needed this, and didn't know I needed this until y'all came along and showed me.
That is a handsome rooster
I worked at Sturbridge Village (1850s living museum) for a number of years. This is soo cool to see, TY!
