[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 111841, member: 4391"] Hi, Donna! [img]:smile:[/img] Jo, which are the best apples to use for apple pie? I am going to try that cook-the-filling before you put it into the shell. So many of my pies have looked beautiful ~ but the apples have been downright crunchy! Also, how do you know how much sugar to use with each kind of apple? I suppose cooking the filling first would eliminate all those problems, wouldn't it. I could see how thick the filling was AND taste it for sweetness. And why IS it that sometimes yeast works and sometimes, it just doesn't? I was into making sourdough bread for awhile there? The first few months, I made the most beautiful, sweet tasting sourdough bread you ever tasted. Then? The yeast or the starter or something went rancid or ~ I don't know what happened. So, I started another batch of starter? But I have never been able to make that same sourdough bread again. Even here, in an entirely different state, I can no longer get that recipe to work! (Yep. I tried new yeast, tried a different brand of yeast, tried making the base in plastic and stainless steel both, instead of glass.) It was the most delicious sourdough bread ever. And now? I can't make it anymore! Anyone like the recipe? [img]:smile:[/img] Barbara [/QUOTE]
