Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 3/4 pounds Golden Delicious apples (about 6)
1 1/2 pounds Anjou pears (about 3)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 14-ounce package refrigerated pie dough (2 rounds)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Peel the apples and pears; slice 1/2 inch thick. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples, pears, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ginger and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mostly tender, 20 to 25 minutes (reduce the heat if the skillet looks dry). Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, flour and cinnamon. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, place a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut 1 dough round into nine 1/4-inch-wide strips; cut the rest of that round into strips of varying thickness. Weave the 1/4-inch strips into 3 thin braids, 3 strips per braid (these will be for the edges). Make braids with some of the remaining strips; leave some as is. Refrigerate the braids and strips until firm, 30 minutes.
  • Line a 9-inch pie plate with the other dough round; add the filling. Arrange the dough strips and braids (except for the 3 for the edges) parallel to one another on top of the filling. Trim any excess dough around the edges. Brush the edges with beaten egg and line with the 3 thin braids; trim the excess. Brush all of the dough with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet, 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is browned, about 1 more hour. (Cover the crust with foil if it darkens too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Rustic Apple Streusel Pie image

Be sure to slice the apples thin so that they cook in the amount of time needed to bake the crust - this isn't a chunky filling.

Provided by Emily Weinstein

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 recipe Tender Pie Dough (see recipe)
4 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and trimmed
2/3 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, preferably Grade B
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, well beaten with a hand blender
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • To make the filling, gently toss the apples, sugar, flour, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Make the streusel. Combine the flour, superfine sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir the melted butter and vanilla together in another small bowl. Gradually stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture, just until evenly moistened (you may not need all of the butter). Squeeze the mixture in your hands until thoroughly combined. Crumble the mixture in the bowl to make fine crumbs with some small lumps.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Unwrap the dough and rap the entire circumference around its edge on the work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Roll out into a 15-inch round. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan, centering it in the pan, and let the excess dough hang over the sides. Heap the apples in the crust, mounding them high in the center. Bring up the edges of the dough, pleating the dough as needed around the circumference of the dish - the center of the filling will be visible. Brush the exposed crust with the egg. Place the streusel over the exposed filling to cover it, then sprinkle any remaining streusel over the crust.
  • Place the pie on the half-sheet pan. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and any juices that escape are thick, about 1 hour. If the crust is browning too quickly, tent it with parchment paper. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, frozen
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
6 cups Honeycrisp apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 scant cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 large egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
  • Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MILE-HIGH APPLE PIE WITH BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL



Mile-High Apple Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel image

The name came about when I entered the pie in the Lorain County Fair as an assignment from my editor. The pie barely fit under the dome of my Tupperware® Pie Taker. When I removed the lid at the fair, a 12-year old girl sang out, " that's a mile-high apple pie!" The name stuck.

Provided by Paul Morton

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¾ cup white sugar

1 tablespoon shortening
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Prepare filling: toss apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.

  • Gather up the dough and form it into a flat disc. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board and roll it into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan and flute the edges. Spoon the apple filling into the crust.
  • Prepare topping: gather flour, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl. Work with a pastry blender until butter is the size of large peas. Sprinkle topping generously on top of the pie.
  • Place the pie on top of a foil-covered cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes more.

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples and pears. This will help to prevent them from bruising or breaking.
  • Toss the apples and pears with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg before adding them to the pie crust. This will help to flavor the fruit and make it more juicy.
  • Use a combination of flour, sugar, and butter to make the streusel topping. This will give the topping a crispy texture and a delicious flavor.
  • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
