Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
6 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¼ cup white sugar

Time 7h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
2 1/2 cups whole pecans
8 ounces Medjool dates, pitted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden and fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Reserve 1 cup for topping; coarsely chop remaining 1 1/2 cups.
  • In a small saucepan, bring dates, 1/2 cup water, and vanilla to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cook until almost all of liquid is absorbed, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer dates and remaining liquid to a food processor; puree until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup date puree (reserve remainder for another use), corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and salt until smooth; stir in chopped pecans. Pour filling into crust; arrange reserved whole pecans over top. Place a foil-lined baking sheet below rack, then place pie dish directly on rack; bake until filling wobbles slightly in center when gently shaken, 50 minutes to 1 hour. (If crust is getting too dark, cover with a foil ring.) Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely, at least 4 hours. Serve room temperature.

BAKED APPLES FILLED WITH DATES AND PECANS



Baked Apples Filled with Dates and Pecans image

When I told my friend about this baked apple dish, he said it reminded him of an old folk recipe. When he was little and had an upset tummy, his Russian grandmother would cut up an apple and leave it out on the counter for a few minutes, until it began to brown. His grandmother would then say, "Come eat, tatellah" (an affectionate way of saying, "little man" in Yiddish). Lo and behold, a few minutes later his stomach felt better. He always figured it was love at work (and, of course, it was), but years later he found out there was also some science involved: As they brown-or cook, in this case-apples release pectin, which naturally soothes the belly. Baking makes the pectin and the rest of the apple easier to digest. In this recipe, the apples are complemented by a whole host of tasty morsels and spices-toasted pecans, dates, orange zest, and cinnamon-and as they bake, they smell heavenly.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup finely chopped toasted pecans (see page 97)
1/4 cup pitted and finely diced Medjool dates
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 baking apples, such as Pink Lady, Pippin, or Mcintosh
1 tablespoon organic butter (optional)
Unfiltered apple juice, for baking

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the pecans, dates, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Core the apples, leaving half an inch at the bottom, and peel the top edges. Stuff the apples with the pecan filling, then dot the butter on top or melt the butter and brush it on the apple tops.
  • Put the apples in a baking pan, pour in about 1 inch of apple juice, and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until the apples are tender but not mushy. Test for doneness by poking a fork into the apples; they should be tender and yield easily to pressure.
  • Serve warm, drizzled with the warm apple juice from the baking pan.
  • If you don't have dates or pecans, be creative! You can substitute currants or raisins and walnuts or almonds, and if nuts are a problem, you can simply omit them. You can use clarified butter if you like, or for a dairy-free version use coconut oil.
  • Use a melon baller to scoop out the apple core; it's important to keep the base intact.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
