Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut each apple quarter in thirds crosswise and combine in a bowl with the zests, juices, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Roll out half the pie dough and drape it over a 9- or 10-inch pie pan to extend about 1/2-inch over the rim. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.
- Fill the pie with the apple mixture. Brush the edge of the bottom pie crust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1-inch over the rim. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the 2 together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar, and cut 4 or 5 slits.
- Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the crust is browned and the juices begin to bubble out. Serve warm.
- Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust.
APPLE PIE
Steps:
- For the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until pea-size.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 of the eggs with a fork until fluffy and pale yellow.
- Using a fork, mix the eggs into the flour mixture until the dough just comes together. Finish combining the dough with your hands to form a ball, being careful to avoid over-working the dough.
- Cut the ball in half, forming two smaller balls of dough. Gently press down on each to form two equal disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- For the filling: In a bowl, coat the apple slices with the lemon juice. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss to evenly coat. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Dust a clean surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough, one disk at a time, to 1/4-inch-thick, about 12 inches in diameter.
- Spray the pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Roll one portion of the dough onto the rolling pin and carefully lift into the pan, leaving the excess dough hanging over the edge. Spoon the fruit filling into the pan, creating a mountain of fruit. Then push down the center of the filling pile to even it out, and trim the crust. Roll the second portion of the dough onto the rolling pin and place over the filling, with the excess dough hanging around the edges of the pan. Flute the edges of the crust by pinching dough between your thumb and forefinger all the way around the edge. Cut holes in the top crust with a paring knife or poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape. Beat the remaining egg, and brush the piecrust with the egg wash using a pastry brush or your fingers. Sprinkle the crust with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown and the juices begin to bubble, about 1 hour.
- Cool the pie for several hours before cutting and serving (if you can wait that long!).
GERMAN APPLE PIE
I live in a big apple-producing state, so I think this recipe represents our region well. I tasted this pie many years ago when my children's babysitter made it. I asked for the recipe and have made it many times since.

Steps:
- Place a baking sheet in the oven, then preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel the Golden Delicious and Gala apples, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the apples and mix until the apples are well coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out a pie dough round to a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, brushing off any excess flour, then unroll into a 9-inch (24 cm) pie dish, making sure the dough is centered. Fill with the apple mixture. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
- Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
- Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips. Fold back the 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and place another 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip horizontally across the pie about ⅓ of the way down. Fold the vertical 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips back down. Continue adding the remaining ½-inch (1.24 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips to create a lattice top.
- Roll the excess dough around the edges inward toward the pie, tucking the ends in. Use your index finger on one hand and thumb and index finger on the other hand to crimp the edge. Brush off any excess flour, then brush the egg wash all over the dough. Sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
- Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the pie dish on top, then return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: Opt for a combination of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. This creates a well-balanced flavor profile.
- Prepare the Apples Properly: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Soaking them in lemon water prevents discoloration.
- Create a Flavorful Filling: Along with apples, incorporate spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for a classic apple pie flavor. You can also add a touch of citrus zest or dried fruits for extra depth.
- Use Quality Pita Bread: Select fresh, soft pita bread that's pliable and easy to work with. If it's too dry or brittle, it might crack during folding.
- Seal the Pita Pockets Well: To prevent the filling from leaking out, make sure to seal the pita pockets tightly by pinching the edges together. You can also use a fork to press down on the edges for a more secure seal.
- Cook Until Golden Brown: Bake the pita pockets in a preheated oven until they turn golden brown. This indicates that the filling is cooked through and the pita bread is crispy.
Conclusion:
Apple pie in a pita is a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining the flavors of traditional apple pie with the convenience of pita bread. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, this recipe is perfect for both experienced bakers and beginners. Whether you're looking for a fun and creative way to enjoy apples or simply want to try something different, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings.
