Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 round refrigerated pie dough (half of a 14-ounce package)
1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds
6 McIntosh or Braeburn apples, peeled and chopped
11 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough; crimp the edges. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork, then refrigerate 15 minutes. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place on a baking sheet and bake until set, about 7 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue baking until golden, about 6 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Combine the apples, 5 tablespoons sugar, the butter, lemon juice and vanilla in a saucepan; cover and cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover and cook, mashing and stirring with a potato masher, until saucy and starting to caramelize, about 12 more minutes; let cool 15 minutes. Transfer the apples to the pie crust and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt with a mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar and beat until stiff, 2 to 3 more minutes. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. Pipe around the edge of the pie, then pipe in a lattice pattern. Bake until the meringue is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick cold salted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup ice water
1 pound McIntosh apples, peeled and chopped
1 pound Fuji apples, peeled and chopped
1 pound Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup sugar
Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater onto a sheet of wax paper and freeze until very hard, at least 20 minutes. Stir the flour and sugar in a medium bowl, then stir in the frozen butter with a fork. Stir in the ice water, then knead the dough into a shaggy ball. Turn out onto a floured surface and flatten into a disk with a rolling pin. Fold in half left to right and then top to bottom. Roll out into a 12-inch round, dusting with flour as needed. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and gently press into the pan. Crimp the edges, creating a tall rim to keep in all the apple juices. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Make the filling: Position racks in the middle and lower third of the oven and place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drips; preheat to 375 degrees F. Toss the apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice and pie spice in a large bowl. Sprinkle the flour on top and toss to combine. Spoon the filling into the pie shell and gently pack evenly with your hands; dot with the butter. Cover the top with a round of parchment paper and press to adhere.
  • Bake the pie on the middle oven rack until the apples are tender and bubbling and the crust is browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand while you make the meringue. (You want the pie to still be hot when you add the meringue.) Leave the oven on.
  • Make the meringue: Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks are just forming, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium high; gradually beat in the sugar until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Spread the meringue over the hot pie filling all the way to the crust; make swoops with the back of a spoon. Bake until the meringue is lightly browned in spots, 5 to 7 minutes (do not overbake). Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

CARAMEL APPLE MERINGUE PIE



CARAMEL APPLE MERINGUE PIE image

Categories     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Apple     Fall

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 19

CRUST
1 bag Mama's Pie Crust Mix
3/4 cup butter, partially melted
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg white
6-8 tablespoons cold water
2 cups APPLE CURD (see my other recipe)
CARAMEL PUDDING
1 1/4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons half-n-half
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon light corn syrup (can use honey)
MERINGUE
4 egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch cream of tartar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix up pie crust according to package directions. Use half the dough for another project (or double the caramel pudding and make two pies). Prepare two sheets of waxed paper with cooking spray, roll out half the dough between the sheets of wax paper into a 12" circle. Peel off top sheet of wax paper, carefully lay the crust into a 9" pie pan. Slowly peel off the second sheet of wax paper. Gently nudge the crust into the edges of the pie pan, trim any excess, flute the edge as desired. Cracks or holes can be patched and pressed together without trouble. Bake crust for 15 minutes, or until barely golden. Remove and cool. To make the caramel pudding, place cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup half-n-half, whisking until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in egg yolks. Set the rest of the half-n-half to warm on the stove, but do not boil. Mix butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan off the heat until the sugar is moistened. Put on low heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer, without stirring, for 5 minutes. Add warm half-n-half, and whisk until caramel bits dissolve completely. Slowly whisk caramel mixture into yolk mixture, then return to the hot pan. Whisk until pudding thickens and boils, about 2 min. Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread two cups of apple curd over crust. Pour the pudding over the curd. Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and then gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Spread meringue over filling, taking care to seal it to the pie crust. Swirl decoratively. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until meringue is golden. Cool completely, and chill until cold. Keep chilled.
