Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup vegetable shortening or lard
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 to 7 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 jar (or more) caramel topping

Steps:

  • For the perfect spiced pie crust: Mix the flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Work the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. Add the white vinegar, egg and 5 tablespoons cold water and stir until just combined.
  • Form 2 equal-sized balls. Place each in a large plastic bag (do not seal) and slightly flatten with a rolling pin; this makes it much easier to roll out the crust later. After flattening, seal the bag tightly. Place in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove 1 bag of dough from the freezer (save the other dough for another use), remove the dough from the bag and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough starting at the center and working outward. Be gentle and patient; it'll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below while rolling, use a metal spatula to loosen it. When fully rolled out, loosen again with a spatula and lift the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan (or you can roll the pastry over the rolling pin, lift it onto the pie pan and unroll it). Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan and tear off any excess dough. Then tuck under the edges and go around the pie pan pinching the dough to crimp the edge.
  • For the pie filling: In a bowl, mix the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour and salt. Set aside.
  • For the crumb topping: Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, then add in the brown sugar, oats and salt.
  • Add the apples to the prepared pie shell and top with the crumb topping. Bake for 1 hour, covering the edge of the crust with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. After an hour, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the pie, then bake for a further 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and pour 1/2 jar (or more, if you're feeling dangerous and naughty) of caramel topping over the top. Allow to cool slightly before serving - or don't if you can't wait!

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, frozen
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
6 cups Honeycrisp apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 scant cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 large egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
  • Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMEL TOPPED APPLE PIE



Caramel Topped Apple Pie image

I saw this demonstrated in a YouTube video, prepared by Chef John of foodwishes.com. It sounded so good, so I jotted down the ingredients and instructions. I made it immediately, and it was fabulous. It's about the only apple pie I make any longer, and I thought others would like to make it, too. Use whatever apples you like (Chef John prepared his pie using Gala apples, but I prefer Granny Smith apples). I also peel my apples, but chef John sliced his apples with the peels intact.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 apple pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pastry for double-crust pie
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
6 baking apples, cored and sliced (I prefer Granny Smith apples, Chef John uses Gala apples)

Steps:

  • Press bottom crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Place pie pan on foil-lined baking sheet (to catch spills during baking); set aside.
  • In a saucepan, bring butter, flour, water, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn off heat; set pan aside.
  • Place top crust on cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut crust into 8 strips.
  • Place apples in the bottom crust, slightly mounded in the center. Cover apples with the cut dough strips, with four strips across and four strips vertical, weaving them in a lattice pattern if you wish.
  • Fold edges of bottom crust over the lattice edges to seal, then crimp (or pinch) edges of crust, making a scalloped edge on pie crust.
  • Spoon caramel sauce evenly over top crust, being sure to completely cover the top crust with caramel sauce.
  • Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, to start caramelization. Reduce heat to 350F and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, or until apples are soft.
  • Let cool completely before slicing.

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

For crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, frozen
4 tablespoons (about) ice water
For streusel
3/4 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For filling
3 pounds Golden Delicious apples (about 8), peeled, cored, cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in enough ice water by tablespoonfuls to form large moist clumps. Transfer dough to work surface. Gather dough into ball. Flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic. Chill dough 30 minutes.
  • Make streusel:
  • Mix flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in medium bowl to blend. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture forms pea-size clumps. (Dough and streusel can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate streusel. Keep dough chilled. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
  • Make filling:
  • Combine apple wedges and 1/4 cup flour in large bowl and toss to coat. Let stand while preparing caramel.
  • Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup turns deep amber color, brushing pan sides with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter and remaining 2 tablespoons water (mixture will bubble vigorously). Return to heat and stir until smooth. Pour caramel over apples; toss to coat. Let stand until apples release juices, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Roll out dough on floured work surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 9 1/2-inch-diameter glass pie dish with 1 3/4-inch-high sides. Crimp edges decoratively. Spoon apple mixture into prepared crust. Sprinkle streusel over pie.
  • Bake pie until apples are tender and streusel is golden, covering crust edge with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool at least 1 hour. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.
