Fresh tomatoes and a rich, cheesy filling make a summertime savory pie. There is a lot of preparation for this pie, but it is well worth every minute. I love this pie on summer mountain evenings. Enjoy with cool ice tea.

Time 2h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch pie crust
2 pounds heirloom tomatoes
1 pound Roma tomatoes
1 cup diced raw bacon
½ cup sliced leek
2 cups grated white Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Fontina cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup fresh basil, torn into small pieces
1 egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Chill pie dough for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the lower oven rack.
  • Slice heirloom tomatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Remove seeds with your fingers. Place 6 slices on paper towels or a clean cloth and cover with more paper towels or another clean cloth. Arrange the remaining slices on a wire rack. Cut Roma tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices, remove seeds, and arrange them on the rack as well.
  • Line a deep-dish, 9-inch pie plate with dough. Place 2 layers of aluminum foil over the entire surface. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake pie crust on the preheated baking sheet on the bottom rack. Place tomatoes on a higher rack. Reduce temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake until the bottom of the pie crust has lost its translucent raw look and the edges have just started to color, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the foil and the weights. Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent them from burning. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with a fork to keep it from puffing up. Return the pie crust to the bottom rack and bake until the bottom starts to color, about 8 more minutes.
  • Remove pie crust and allow to cool. Continue baking the tomatoes until they are wilted, about 40 minutes total. Remove and allow to cool. Keep the oven on.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until some of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add sliced leek. Cook until bacon is crisp and the leeks have softened and browned, about 5 more minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and allow to cool.
  • Place bacon-leek mixture, Cheddar, Fontina, mayonnaise, basil, egg, and mustard in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Spread 1/3 mixture on the bottom of the pie crust. Arrange 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes on top, overlapping heirlooms with Roma tomatoes. Spread another 1/3 of the mixture over the tomatoes and arrange the remaining roasted tomatoes on top. Add the last 1/3 of the mixture and gently press the fresh tomato slices on top in a decorative pattern. Arrange foil around the edges of the pie crust to protect them from burning, taking care that the foil doesn't touch the tomatoes.
  • Bake until browned and bubbly on top, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE



Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie image

To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
5 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 pastry for double-crust pie (see footnote for recipe link)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.
  • Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
  • Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

AMISH CREAM PIE

I found and made this recipe today...this pie is SO good! The recipe comes from Midwest Living's April 2003 issue, originally from the M&M Cafe in Monticello, Wisconsin.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Pie

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups half-and-half or 2 1/2 cups light cream
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 9-inch baked pie crust
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt.
  • Whisk in the half-and-half or light cream and cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in butter, brown sugar and vanilla until butter melts.
  • Pour into baked pie shell and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
  • Bake the pie in a 325° oven for 30 minutes- the center of the pie will not be set.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  • Chill for 3 to 6 hours before serving- pie will set up upon chilling.
  • Cover for longer storage.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • When making the caramel filling, be patient and stir constantly to prevent burning. The mixture will thicken as it cooks and will turn a deep golden brown color.
  • To achieve a smooth and creamy filling, whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are well combined before adding the hot caramel mixture. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of light and dark brown sugar in the filling.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

This Amish Caramel Pie is a delicious and decadent treat that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its flaky crust, gooey caramel filling, and whipped cream topping, this pie is perfect for any occasion.
