AUTUMN HARVEST PUMPKIN PIE

This is a very easy, very good pumpkin pie recipe (I'm not much of a baker and even I can handle this one!) It originally came to our family by way of a series of cookbooks published in the 1960's by high school home economics teachers: Mrs. Patsy Sachse Edmunds of Crete-Monee HS in Crete, Illinois gets the original credit for this.

Haven't tried it yet but it won First Place with the Alfa Cooking Contest in Montgomery, AL. My insurance company for over 40 year. It was summited by Carol Simpson and it looks fantastic.

Categories     Fruit

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 baking apples, such as Rome, Granny Smith, or Cortland, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
7 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 cups (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
Pie crust dough
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine apples and pears in a large mixing bowl. Add flour, sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, and zest, and mix. Add cranberries, and toss gently. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough. The excess will hang over the side. Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold the excess dough onto the top of the fruit, creating a container kind of top-crust. You'll cinch it in places to get it just right. It shouldn't be big enough to meet in the middle, but it's fine if it does. Brush pastry with cream. Sprinkle sugar lightly and evenly over the top of pie. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1- 1 1/2 hours more, or until crust is nice and golden.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will give the crust a flaky texture and a rich flavor.
  • When making the filling, use fresh, ripe fruit. This will ensure that the pie has the best possible flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • To prevent the pie from boiling over, place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

The Autumn Harvest Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tart filling, and beautiful presentation, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Autumn Harvest Pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
