APPLE PIE WITH CALVADOS



Apple Pie With Calvados image

Calvados is a brandy made from apples. It heightens the apple flavor. This recipe is heavier on the spice and lighter on the sugar than average. Adapted from Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson. We use dairy butter instead of a vegan product, and changed up the spices. Note that baking temperature and time are specific to our oven, and may need to be adjusted for yours.

Time 3h

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
7/8 cup butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup ice water, as needed
5 large Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons calvados or 2 tablespoons brandy

Steps:

  • Sift and combine the flour and salt. Mix in 5/6 cup of butter gradually with a dough wisk (leave 1 tbsp for step 5). Mix in just enough ice water until the dough just starts to hold together. Transfer to a work surface, divide in half, and flatten to form two disks that are about 3/4" thick. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (You can do this ahead of time and refrigerate for longer. It's okay but will take longer to warm up and roll out in next step.).
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough into the pie plate, and trim and flute the edges. Refrigerate the pie plate. Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust, and refrigerate.
  • Peel, core, and slice the apples, and place in a large bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the apples and stir so that all pieces are covered. Add the brown sugar and stir again.
  • Mix together the spices, starch, and calvados. Add a little of water if needed to mix evenly. Pour the mixture over the apples and stir.
  • Spoon the apple mixture into the bottom crust in the pie plate. Dot with the 1 tbsp of butter. Place the top crust on the fruit, seal with the bottom crust, and flute the edges. Use a knife or awl to create several steam holes in the top crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes more. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

All-butter pastry dough
1 3/4 pound Gala apples
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Calvados applesauce
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons apple jelly
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Calvados
Special Equipment
parchment paper; a large baking sheet (at least 14 inches wide)

Steps:

  • Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a rough 16-inch round (1/8 inch thick), then transfer carefully to parchment-lined large baking sheet. Loosely fold in edge of pastry where necessary to fit on baking sheet, then chill, covered loosely with plastic wrap, 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • While pastry is chilling, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Toss slices with lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
  • Put baking sheet with pastry on a work surface and unfold any edges so pastry is flat. Spread applesauce over pastry, leaving a 2-inch border, and top sauce with sliced apples, mounding slightly. Fold edges of dough over filling, partially covering apples (center will not be covered) and pleating dough as necessary. Dot apples with butter, then brush pastry edge lightly with water and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar. Bake galette in middle of oven until pastry is golden and apples are tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • While galette is baking, melt apple jelly in a very small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring.
  • Slide baked galette on parchment onto a rack, then brush with melted jelly and cool galette until warm or room temperature.
  • Beat together cream and confectioners sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until cream just holds soft peaks, then beat in Calvados. Serve galette topped with dollops of Calvados cream.
