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.

The rooster crowing part is hilarious, and that pie really looks tasty, Justine!

Oh my gosh woman, chasing off those chickens and the rooster just made my day!! 😜🤣 Nice looking pie too 😋

Justine, you and the cabin are looking quite festive. The ribbon in your hair completes your ensemble! The pie is looking good too.

Love those chickens lol

Those pies looked sooo delicious! They are definitely something to crow about!🐓

I had no idea I make my pies the same way even today my great grandma taught me this recipe.

this is actually a very cool concept for a video it's nice to see you eat and live in the everyday life of the world aside from every body You are not like anyone and this is what makes you a special and exceptional person. I wish you a happy life and to everyone who reads my comment ❤️🥰💖😍😘🍓♥️❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Justine, this is my first comment. I found your channel a few weeks ago and have binge watched so many. I am drawn to this channel for a few reasons. I love the 'old ways'. As a kid, one of my favorite books was "Pioneer Children of America". I can't tell you how many times I read it. I love how you do it all in a period setting with tools and techniques of the time. I am also drawn to you. You could be my late wife's little sister. A striking resemblance in the face and hair but your movements, expressions, and actions put it over the top. Your war with the rooster was what made me finally comment. She would have done the exact same thing. It brings a smile to the lips and a little mist to the eye. A slightly smaller connection; my grandmother's name was Justina. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Christmas Blessings to you and Ron.

I can see there would be no taking a nice peaceful nap with that crowing going on, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! And that pie! Such a simple uncomplicated dish, but oh so good! Have a fantastic day!

I love apple pie and yours looks absolutely delicious 😋

Love the way you looked when you smelt the malt vinegar. Also good to see you were well prepared with the fork in the top of your apron. Those pies 🥧 looked so nice

I love Apple pie recipes, as it’s my husband’s favorite pie and my second favorite pie.

I love your old kitchen! And also your videos, it's relaxing! 😊

Even though I've been watching this channel for years... I've never commented but I just wanted to tell you guys, I'm getting close to my retirement and I can't wait to visit this town ...I'm so happy about this channel it's one of my favorite you tube channels❤

Thank you so much Justine for posting the receipt for this! Many moons ago I used to make my own pie crusts, but it’s been almost 40 years since I’ve made one. So this video was perfect timing as I was I craving an old fashioned apple pie :). God bless you and Ron.

Your chickens are going to love the apple cores and peels!

That crowing would drive me insane. Great video, keep up the good work.

Love these videos showing what life was like way back then.

Justine , I just love watching you cook. Hope your home is coming along great. Love to you both.

Looks delicious! Justine has made Ron a happy man!

I made an apple pie this past Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to give this recipe a try the next time an opportunity arises! 😃

Just made this 2 weeks ago. The green apples give the pie a nice balance of sweet and tart. ❤

Beautiful and sooooo simple! Looks so delicious !Life was hard but pure ! Love to watch !❤❤❤❤❤❤I’m a BIG FAN ! Merrry Christmas ! I

Justine you are so funny with that rooster! I hope you never stop being young at heart! May God continue to Bless the work of your hands ❤

Sounds like it's time to make some coq au vin ;) I am not a huge fan of baked apples but your pies do look very nice!

They turned out beautifully! I always marvel when you bake things to perfection over the fire in the dutch oven! Now, I've never used egg in pie pastry dough... I'm going to try that! ❤

It is so interesting to watch because it gives us a visualization of times long ago. Thank you

Those apples look good and hearing the chickens is a calming background sound. Beats road noise by a wide margin for sure.

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.

Love seeing you make pie crust, Justine! Your pies always turn out beautifully. Thank you for sharing with us and be blessed until next week! See you at the Chew & Chat! xoxo

I can't wait till you start harvesting your heritage apples. You mentioned the varieties you are planting in an earlier video, and there are some great cookers among them.

Welcome back, we miss you two. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 on your wedding.

Lovely video! My kids and I watched during our lunch time just now. You’re a midday meal KZfaq tradition. We really enjoyed you chasing the huge rooster and sharing the tasty pie with your neighbor!

Love me some good ol Classsic Apple Pie 🖤🖤🖤🖤

So nice to give to friends and neighbors when you have enough😊 Is so lovely to see compatriots who are observing and preserving the culture❤

How lovely of you to share your pie with a friend.

Your video is so relaxing, I can almost smell your room . I am going to make an apple pie tomorrow, it’s my husband’s favorite. I can’t wait to make the crust, I never can make them, hopefully this will work. ❤️❤️

I love to hear my roosters crow You and Justin are great thank you

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.

I absolutely love your little place in December. It looks so warm and nice!!

Vídeo maravilhoso!🥰🥰🥰

The rooster definitely stole the show, but just barely. Those pies look so wonderful!

So glad I found your channel. I've never wanted to jump through a screen more than I do right now!! Looks delicious!❤

I swear you look like my mama when she was younger. Same smile, hair and eyes! I LOVE all of your videos, they are so cozy and comforting.

This is the best one yet..❤ Love your work and greatly admire your dedication.

Apple pie is one of my favorite desserts during the fall and winter season

Love your videos ❤ They bring me a sense of comfort when watching them….Even got my boyfriend hooked lol ❤

Your pies look yummy!! I like that you share with your neighbor!! Blessings.

Great video. And taking a pie to the neighbors, the best.😊

I worked at Sturbridge Village (1850s living museum) for a number of years. This is soo cool to see, TY!

I noticed Justine used Granny Smith which was developed in Australia fairly recently. In those days they must have used different kinds of apples so their pies tasted a bit different. Also their apples might have been smaller.

Looks good! Beautiful Christmas stuffs in your house. ❤ So warming Holiday. Merry Christmas to you, your Hubby, and Mish Mish. ❤️

Aww thank goodness for this channel and my other favorite channel fronter patron who I’m going to watch after this one cause Ron and Justin are my favorites every Wednesday night to watch love you both too the moon and back 💕💕

The rooster and the broom then you pull a fork,from your dress! Im dead! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Such a great video and promotion for your town. Thank you ❤😊❤

Really awesome to see as an American living abroad I gotta say thank you for reminding me of home

OMG!!! LOVED Mr. 🐓ROOSTER!!! THAT WAS soooooooo awesome and very funny!!! The pies made me VERY HUNGRY!!! THANKS JUSTINE 💜 😊!!!

I truly live for your winter & pie baking videos. You ahve such a gift at rustic baking. You show each step so anyone can follow you too. Thank you & Ron for sharing your great videos 🥰🫶

You are the best, I love your videos! But to be honest, that bunny …… 😬 it takes away from the whole ASMR deal which is my fav part of your show. It’s so soothing and comforting. I love them to help with sleep as well. ❤️

Love your green mixing bowl justine

My vintage soul loves this ❤️‍🩹🫀 I want to visit places like this wow 🙌🏻🦋

That rooster is quite the handsome guy and he knows it. Very nice pies! The flour you mention is a heritage variety which is great to see. In my area we are growing Red Fife again, first by a coalition working with a local farmer to pay for the crop regardless but now I am seeing it show up in more commercial stores, along with the more ancient varieties. Red Fife is the tall golden wheat in " amber waves of grain". The modern varieties are much shorter and have their uses but it is better to expand/recover the gene pool.

You keep popping up on my phone so I decided to watch... And now I can't stop! Have just fallen in love with all it.. people included! Wishing for a wiff though!! 😊

Your videos always make me smile. Thank you

Looks so delicious! The rooster had me cracking up 😆

That’s a happy rooster. The pies look wonderful.

You always take such care in the food you make. You NEVER make a mess. You are beautifully effortless Justine

That's the way to do it: two pies! One for you and one for Ron! Apple pie is my favorite.

Beautiful dress Justine, and you and the roosters made me laugh 😊

Brava Justine! I love the rabbit chat at the end of the video!

The way you snuck that fork out of the top of your apron with such a mischievous grin!

I love your video ❤.

Fun video as usual guys! ❤ I'm definitely making this pie!! I've been looking into pie crusts and yours seems very simple and easy to follow. 🍏 Christmas apple pie here we come! I've been looking for an opportunity to visit St. Genevieve! I've actually been to Missouri, but around the highlandville area. I've been to Branson over there too! Looking forward to the next video!

Your pie looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your video.👍😊❤️

LOL it sounds like the chickens are in the house with you. That's a fine rooster you have. Mish Mish is making sure you are doing it right. Wow two pies. I don't have enough gumption to make one in a modern kitchen.

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. ❤😢

This does make me crave an apple pie badly.

The 🐓 stole the show! Those are sumptuous looking pies!

That mischievous Cheshire cat face you made looking at the freshly made pies...☺️

Awww! Your cat is so... catty! We've adopted a black kitten girl recently too.

Love seeing the chickens. The Rhode Island reds and Plymouth Barred Rocks.

Awesomeness! I sure would go if I wasnt so wrecked by covid. I have loved anything 'Colonial' since I was in grade school back in the 70s😅

The comedy in this video had me rolling. That rooster better watch out, it might become Christmas dinner 😂

Love, love, love the rooster! ❤

Looks delicious Justine,,,,,,I used to buy pies in Apple Hill near Placerville, Ca ,,,,I bought pies that didn’t have any sugar added, they were the sweetest pies! With the natural sugar from the pies you didn’t need to add any sugar…….,,

Beautiful Rooster!! Lol love your cooking videos!!!

This sounds real good. I have everything to make so this will be good for this chilly evening.

The rooster crowing the whole episode had me dying. Especially when you told it to stop. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bonjour merci merci beaucoup de partager avec la joie de la guitares et c tarte au pomme 🍎 ummmmm 😝👍👍👍👌👌👌❤❤

what's funny is that I too was getting really annoyed with the crowing! Then Justine did what I was temped to do. lol

I just ❤ watching you cook it warms the soul!

Apple pie yummy! You & the rooster were so funny----laughed hard when you ran out of the house after him. 😂❤

Ur videos are really nice, it gives so much peace

Lovely video, Justine! You reminded me of the apples from my orchard that I need to use up soon. I'm going to be making an apple pie as soon as I get a chance.

There is nothing like the scent of a baking apple pie and then there's the tasting of it. So wonderful.

That rooster bit was hilarious 🐓😂
