Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds baking apples such as Cortland or Macoun, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee (Pie Dough)
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Add sugar, molasses, flour, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, and salt. Toss to combine. Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish, and dot top with butter; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 10-inch square. Drape over apples, tucking pastry in and down around the edges. Cut a few vents in crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush with cream.

Push some of the pieces back down into the apple juices. Return to oven until juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown and crisp, 10 to 20 minutes more.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons ice water
3 Rome apples (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 McIntosh apples (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 teaspoons coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add 1 tablespoon more ice water). Do not overmix. Form dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to 2 weeks). On a floured piece of parchment, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Make filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, cranberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish; dot with butter. Tear or cut dough into pieces (around 3 inches square). Lay dough pieces, overlapping slightly, over apple mixture. Brush dough with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until crust is browned and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
