1 pound ground lamb, divided
½ cup pine nuts
¼ stick salted butter

  • Invert top layer over the filling. Peel off waxed paper. Score top layer into diamond shapes by cutting diagonally in both directions, leaving about 3 inches between cuts. Press a small dab of butter into the middle of each diamond.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and mint.

This delicious pie recipe comes from my Aunt Louise who received it many years ago from her mother in law. It is so easy and gives a new twist to the usual fresh fruit pie. You may substitute half & half for the whipping cream to cut some calories. The prep time may vary depending on what type of fruit you have to prepare and your pie crust.

AUNT CAROL'S APPLE PIE



Aunt Carol's Apple Pie image

Everyone in the family has something that they're the best at making. I make the best cookies, my sister, Carol, makes the best pies in the whole world!...no competition in our family! This recipe includes an ingredient called free-flowing brown sugar. This is a non-clumping or caking version of ordinary brown sugar. It has a lower moisture content then the traditional one, which makes it free flowing much like granulated sugar. It is available at most specialty supermarket. If it is not available in your part of the world, use regular brown sugar and make sure it is broken up, free of clumps. Macintosh or Granny Smith apples are the best choices for apple pie because they are the least mushy apples.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Granny Smith apples
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Steps:

  • Peel and slice apples. Toss with sugars, cinnamon and flour. Set aside.
  • Roll crust to make slightly larger to fit 10-inch glass pie pan. Fit bottom crust in pie pan. Turn in apple mixture and dot with butter. Put crust on top and crimp edges of crust together.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Wet hands with water and dampen top of pie. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Puncture top of pie with fork so the steam can escape.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for about 45 minutes more, until crust is golden brown. It's a good practice to place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the pie under the pie plate to catch overflows. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Proper Caramel Texture: The key to perfect caramel is achieving the right consistency. Overcooking can result in a burnt taste, while undercooking can leave it too runny. To ensure success, use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh butter, cream, and eggs to ensure the best flavor and texture. Fresh ingredients contribute to a richer, more decadent pie.
  • Chill the Pie: Before slicing and serving, chill the pie for at least four hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and the caramel to set properly, resulting in a smooth, firm texture.
  • Make it Ahead: Caramel pie can be made a day in advance, making it a convenient option for busy schedules. The flavors actually improve over time, so you can enjoy a slice whenever you crave something sweet.
  • Garnish Elegantly: When serving, consider garnishing the pie with a sprinkle of sea salt, a dollop of freshly whipped cream, or some chopped nuts. These simple additions add an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
