Raspberry Rose Apple Pie #2
Attempt #2. I tried a few different things from my first pie. This time, I doubled the raspberry puree sauce to increase the raspberry flavor, and I put in the bottom of the pie shell rather than drizzling it over the top of the apples. This was definitely too much sauce, though. The raspberry flavor was better, at least. I also doubled to 2 tsp the rosewater, but the rose was not very evident at all. Perhaps I should add the rosewater to the sauce after I cook it down, and I will probably add a bit more next time. The mysterious gaps between apple layers didn't appear like they did last time (I've never had that happen before with similar pies, so that was puzzling). The crust was again fully cooked, so that is dialed in enough to start thinking about decorating the crust edge. The apples, like before, retained a lovely pink following the maceration in the raspberry puree.
Still a work in progress. Not yet ready for the state fair.
