GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE PIE



Grandma's Applesauce Pie image

This is one of the recipes I remember most from my childhood. My grandmother always had this on hand for her grandkids who came to visit. It was invented especially for us kids because it had no "chunks" of apple in it. There was no surprise that the adults loved this pie, just as much as we did.

PUMPKIN APPLESAUCE PIE



Pumpkin Applesauce Pie image

Make and share this Pumpkin Applesauce Pie recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Sydney Mike

Categories     Pie

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pie pastry, 9-inch deep dish
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chunky applesauce
1 cup pumpkin puree, canned

Steps:

  • Invert the pastry over a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, center it & gently tuck the pastry into the pan without stretching it, then sculpt the edge into an upstanding ridge.
  • Place the pie shell in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to prebake it, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil at least 15 inches long, carefully press it into the pastry until it fits like a second skin, & then arrange the excess foil on either side so that it points out like a pair of wings ~ Bunching it up underneath will deflect the heat, which you don't want to do! Fill the foil with about 1 1/2 pounds of dried beans, pushing them up the sides a little to keep the pastry snug against the pan.
  • Bake the shell on the center rack for 20 minutes, then remove it from the oven, & with hands protected, grasp the foil on either side & slowly lift the beans out of the shell.
  • Use a fork to poke the bottom of the pastry 4 or 6 times, twisting the fork slightly to enlarge the holes, so that steam can escape & help prevent the pastry from puffing up.
  • Put the pie shell back in the oven & bake for another 7 to 8 minutes, then let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes, while making the filling. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy & blended, then whisk in the maple syrup & vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, salt & spices, then whisk this into the egg mixture.
  • Whisk in the applesauce & pumpkin, blending until smooth, then ladle the filling into the partially baked crust.
  • Place the pie on the center oven rack & bake 50 to 55 minutes. To check the pie for doneness, give the pan a quick little shake ~ The filling should not waver but should appear set in the middle. The sides might have puffed & have a flat finish while the center will be more glossy, indicating that the pie is ready to be taken from the oven & set on a wire rack to cool. Although it is very good warm, the apple flavor is more pronounced when the pie is cold.
  • If served cold, refrigerate the pie loosely covered with a sheet of waxed paper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety that will hold its shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. If you want a sweeter pie, you can use a sweeter variety, such as Red Delicious or Gala.
  • Peel and core the apples: You can use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to peel the apples. To core the apples, use a melon baller or an apple corer.
  • Slice the apples: You can slice the apples by hand or use a food processor. If you are slicing the apples by hand, cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Make the filling: Combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  • Assemble the pie: Place the bottom crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust. Top with the top crust. Trim the edges of the crust and crimp to seal.
  • Bake the pie: Bake the pie at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool: Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Applesauce pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tangy flavor, applesauce pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
