Cousin Jim's Amazing Apple Pie image

This is the best apple pie I have EVER had. This is one of those pies where everything just blends together on the palate beautifully and makes your mouth want more. I was not an apple pie fan until I tasted this! It is better than ANY bakery, restaurant, or grocery store bought (duh) apple pie I've tried. OH - and by the way, it is worth the effort to roll out the dough...Mmm, Mmm! You can use this light, flaky dough with TONS of other fruit pies.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - 21oz. can(s) apple pie filling
1/2 c white sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c butter
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c water
1 pkg large flour tortillas - 8 count

Steps:

  • 1. Open your can of Apple Pie filling and scoop out into a bowl.
  • 2. Put 1/2 cup of pie filling into each flour tortilla and sprinkle with your sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  • 3. Roll them up tucking in sides and place seam side down in a sprayed 9x13 cake pan.
  • 4. NOTE: I doubled the recipe and used large flour tortillas. I put 1/2 cup filling in tortillas. You can use small tortillas and 1/4 cup of filling and not double the recipe. You dont have to use all of the sugar/cinnamon mixture. I just sprinkled some (your judgement) on the filling before rolling it up.
  • 5. FOR SAUCE: In saucepan, put in butter, white sugar and brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil stirring constantly and then simmer for three minutes. Pour or ladle sauce over tortillas and let set for 45 minutes. NOTE: I also doubled sauce ingredients because I used large tortillas. I didnt use all the sauce as it makes quite a bit. I made sure the sauce was half way up on the side of the enchiladas. Again, you will have quite a bit of sauce left over. I just didnt think there was enough sauce for the large tortillas so I doubled the sauce (your choice).
  • 6. After sitting for 45 minutes, Put into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned on top. Serve warm, next to, or on the side of some vanilla ice cream. Its delicious!

There should be roughly 2 cups of diced apples. -Sift together flour, baking powder, apple pie spice and sea salt, set aside.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and sugar. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in apples and nuts. Scrape batter (it will be thick) into prepared pan, set aside.
  • 3. TOPPING: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, flour, apple pie spice. Cut in butter until like crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Set pan on cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn bread out onto rack. (I made a double batch, hence the extra loaves)
  • 4. GLAZE: Whisk together powdered sugar, cream and vanilla, add more cream a little at a time until of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over bread as shown in photo. Then sprinkle with chopped nuts. (You could use milk instead of the cream, but you will need much less)
  • 5. Apple Pie Spice: You can buy it ready made or you can make your own. Simply stir together the listed ingredients. You WILL have more than you need. Just store in air tight container or a small zip lock bag until next time you make this. Trust me, there will be a next time!!! :o) Or you can use it for an actual apple pie. *Cardamom...you do not need this, but it does enhance the flavor.
  • 6. *I made a double batch which produced 1 large loaf plus 3 small loaves. I use the small loaves for the neighbors! :o)

AMAZING APPLE PIE



AMAZING APPLE PIE image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (recipe located below)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple pie spice (recipe located below)
4 Fugi apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup caramel (optional)
If you want a caramel apple pie melt 1/4 cup of caramel pieces and mix with saucepan mixture. It gives it a slight caramel taste.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, (caramel if using) and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer. 2. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off. Put onto a baking sheet so it doesnt spill over into the oven. 3. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and core your apples. This will make them easier to slice and will help the pie filling to cook evenly.
  • Slice your apples thinly. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add some sugar and spices to your apples. This will help to enhance their flavor. Common spices used in apple pie include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall quality of your pie. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. This will make it difficult to seal the pie and will also result in a soggy bottom crust.
  • Bake your pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Reduce the oven temperature and continue baking until the pie is cooked through. The filling should be bubbling and the crust should be golden brown.
  • Let your pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a delicious and relatively easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious apple pie that your family and friends will love.
