Name: Apple Cinnamon Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds Red Delicious apples, 1/4-inch-thick slices; 1 1/2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices; 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar; 1/4 cup all purpose flour; 3 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 tablespoon cider vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; Basic Pie Crust; 1/4 cup honey; 1 tablespoon milk; Vanilla ice cream

Apple orchards of all kinds can be found throughout the middle of the United States. Interestingly, Red Delicious apples are a heartland original, first discovered in 1872 in Peru, Iowa. They are celebrated here (with their sweeter yellow cousin, the Golden Delicious) in a double-crust pie that's truly a "Delicious" closing to the Thanksgiving feast.
