My family is fond of any treat featuring apples, but this pie is the one they like best. Unlike some fruit pies, this crust doesn't become soggy, thanks to the addition of ground walnuts. Everyone agrees the flavor of nuts pairs well with apples in this fall favorite. -Evonne Wurmnest, Normal, Illinois

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Basic Sweet Piecrust, recipe follows
2 pounds fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick pieces
2 pounds McIntosh apples (6 to 8 apples), cored, peeled, and each cut into 12 equal slices
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple, cherry, or grape brandy
1 cup bleached all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
6 to 7 tablespoons ice cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 370 degrees F.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into an 11-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim off any overhanging dough to make a 1/2-inch wide overhang around the edge of the pan. Flute the edges of the dough with your fingertips.
  • In a large bowl, mix the rhubarb, apples, sugar, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, the cornstarch, lemon juice, and brandy, and toss to coat the fruit evenly. Pour the mixture into the piecrust.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, walnuts, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the filling.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the shortening and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and let sit 1 minute. Using either a fork or your hands, carefully press the mixture together to form a soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a circle about 12-inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch by 2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Crimp the edges and place in the oven.
  • Bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

This is adapted from a recipe I tried last Thanksgiving AND Christmas from the Food Network; I used a store-bought crust and tripled the streusel (my favorite part ;).... It is a very easy, no-fuss pie; very pretty with it's browned nut topping and you don't have to worry about crimping or venting or any other crust issues! My family really loved it and I hope yours does too.

Categories     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Apple     Walnut     Winter     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 26

For pastry dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
For topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
For filling:
3 pounds Golden Delicious or Jonagold apples (about 6 medium)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Accompaniment: Sour Cream Ice Cream
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 large egg yolks
2 cups (1 pint) sour cream

Steps:

  • To make pastry dough:
  • In a large bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse together flour, sugar, salt, and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and toss with a fork or pulse until incorporated. Add enough remaining ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing or pulsing to incorporate, until mixture begins to form a dough. On a work surface smear dough in 3 or 4 forward motions with heel of hand to slightly develop gluten in flour and make dough easier to work with. Form dough into a ball and flatten to form a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
  • To make topping:
  • In a small bowl with your fingertips blend butter, brown sugar, and flour until smooth and blend in nuts. Chill topping, covered.
  • To make filling:
  • Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch wedges and in a bowl toss with remaining filling ingredients to coat.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out dough into a 15-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and fold into quarters for ease of handling. Unfold dough in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet or 10-inch deep-dish (1 1/2-quart) pie plate, easing to fit and letting dough overhang rim of skillet or pie plate. Spoon filling into shell and fold pastry overhang over filling, leaving center uncovered. Bake pie in middle of oven 1 hour (pie will not be completely cooked) and remove from oven.
  • Crumble topping over center of pie, breaking up any large chunks. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake pie in middle of oven 30 minutes more, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cool pie on a rack.
  • Serve pie warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
  • Make Sour Cream Ice Cream:
  • In a heavy saucepan combine half-and-half, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla bean and bring just to a boil. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and add hot half-and-half mixture in a stream, whisking. Return custard to pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until 170°F. on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove pan form heat. Scrape seeds form vanilla bean into custard and discard pod. Stir sour cream into custard until combined well and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Chill custard until cold and feeze in an ice-cream maker. Makes about 1 quart.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will give the crust a flaky texture, while the shortening will help it stay tender.
  • Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When filling the pie, don't overfill it. Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges so that the filling can bubble up without overflowing.
  • To prevent the top crust from getting too brown, cover the pie with a piece of aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Apple pie with walnut topping is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tart filling, and crunchy walnut topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this apple pie with walnut topping a try. You won't be disappointed!
