Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup cinnamon chips (such as Hershey's®)
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
⅔ cup cinnamon chips
2 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Stir in sliced apples until coated with sugar mixture. Stir in 1 cup cinnamon chips. Pour filling into prepared pie crust, and dot with 3 tablespoons butter.
  • To make streusel topping: mix together 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in 6 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in remaining 2/3 cup cinnamon chips. Sprinkle streusel topping over apple filling.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for until filling is bubbling and streusel is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes more. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • While the pie is cooling, prepare the vanilla sauce. In the top of a double boiler over medium heat, whisk together eggs, half-and-half and 1/2 cup sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Spoon sauce (warm or cooled) over slices of pie.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
7 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place rack in lowest position in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C).
  • To Make Topping: Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; cut in butter or margarine until mixture is moist and crumbly, and clumps together easily.
  • To Make Filling: Peel, core, and slice apples into approximately 1/8 inch slices. If you cut them too thick you'll have crunchy apples. In another bowl, toss cut up apples, white sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle in flour, and stir until apples are evenly coated.
  • Layer apple slices in pie shell. You will have a lot of apples, but they will shrink. Layer them higher in the middle. Pour left over juice from apple mixture over apples. Pat the brown sugar topping evenly over apples to make a top crust.
  • Place pie on cookie sheet in oven to catch juice droppings. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 45 minutes to one hour; bake until center of pie has no resistance. If top starts to get too dark, cover with piece of foil. Cool on wire rack before serving.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons frozen solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 tablespoons (or more) chilled whole milk
Topping
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
4 8- to 9-ounce Golden Delicious apples, peeled, quartered, cored, sliced 1/4 inch thick, each slice cut crosswise into 3 pieces
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon whipping cream (for glaze)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend first 4 ingredients in processor. Add butter and shortening; using on/off turns, process until butter is reduced to pea-size pieces. Add 5 tablespoons milk and blend until moist clumps form, adding more milk by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • for topping:
  • Combine first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Gradually add butter, stirring until moist clumps form. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir apples, sugar and lemon juice in large bowl to blend.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured sheet of parchment paper to 14-inch round, occasionally lifting and turning dough to prevent sticking. Transfer dough on parchment to rimless baking sheet. Leaving 2-inch plain border, spread preserves over center of dough. Sprinkle preserves with 3/4 cup topping mixture. Spoon apple mixture over topping, mounding slightly in center; sprinkle apples with remaining topping. Using parchment as aid, fold dough border in over apple filling (border will not cover filling completely). Press border firmly to hold shape and keep in place. Carefully peel back parchment. Brush border generously with glaze.
  • Bake pie until crust is set, about 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F. Bake until apples are tender, covering topping loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 40 minutes longer. Cool pie on baking sheet at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a mix of apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
  • Slice the apples thinly so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the streusel topping, or it will be too dense.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
