Gary killed it yesterday, Aberzombie. We got to 570 pages and the boards started going wonky. How important is it who got the final word? Members may be arguing that for weeks to come. What they won't be arguing is who got it.
Damn! Oh well, maybe by the time we get this thread up that high, Gary will have fixed it so we can go further.

I'm gonna get some sleep now. I didn't sleep too well last night and tomorrow's going to be busy at work. I found out that I will be travelling to Houston for a site install on Monday.
Thanks! When I get to my hotel Sunday night, I'll have to check back with you guys.
I just hope that I get some spare time while I'm there. My last trip was not so good. :S

Apple Maple Raisin Pie
Ingredients:
CRUST
• 2 2/3 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
OR 1 stick Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening Sticks
• 7 to 8 tablespoons ice cold water
•
FILLING
• 9 cups peeled, cored, quartered apples (about 2 1/2 pounds)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 3/4 cup Hungry Jack® Microwave Ready Regular Syrup
• 1/4 cup Pillsbury BEST® Unbleached Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• Milk
Preparation Directions:
1. HEAT oven to 375ºF.
CRUST
1. COMBINE flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender or two knives just until mixture forms pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle with water, one tablespoon at a time. Toss lightly with fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into two equal parts. Press between hands to form two 5 to 6-inch "pancakes."
2. FLOUR "pancakes" lightly on both sides. Roll one "pancake" between sheets of waxed paper (or plastic wrap) on dampened countertop for bottom crust. Peel off top sheet of waxed paper. Trim 1" larger than upside-down 10 inch pie plate. Flip into pie plate. Remove other sheet. Trim edge even with pie plate. Moisten edge of pastry with water.
FILLING
1. TOSS apples and raisins in large bowl with syrup, flour, salt, cream, cinnamon and cardamom. Mound filling in pie shell.
2. ROLL top crust same as bottom using second "pancake" to 1/8-inch thick. Peel off top sheet of waxed paper. Flip onto filled pie. Remove other sheet of waxed paper. Trim 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top edge under bottom crust. Flute. Brush crust with milk. Cut slits in top crust for steam to escape.
3. BAKE 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cover pie loosely with foil to prevent over-browning, if necessary. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.
