Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup store-bought dulce de leche, plus more for garnish
4 large eggs
1 large or 2 small d'Anjou pears
1 baked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust, recipe follows, or store bought
1/2 cup dried apple slices
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying pie plate
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch and the salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, dulce de leche and eggs until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the cornstarch mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Halve and core the pear. Cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Add the slices to a bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch and toss to completely coat the fruit.
  • To assemble the pie and bake, place the baked deep-dish pie crust on a baking sheet. Lay the dried apple slices in a single layer on the bottom of the crust. Fan the pear slices out in a circle over the apple slices. Stir any excess cornstarch from the pears into the custard filling and pour the filling over the top of the pears.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set and the pears are slightly golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Before serving, dust the top of the pie with ground cinnamon. Heat some dulce de leche in a microwave for 30 seconds and stir to loosen. Drizzle over the top of the pie and serve.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt and pulse to mix. Add the butter and pulse to a coarse meal (the butter should be in pea-size pieces). With the motor running, stream in the water until the dough starts to come together. Dump out the mixture, gather into a ball, press to a disk and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.
  • Spray a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the dough from the fridge, unwrap and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared pie plate. Dock with a fork and crimp the edges between your fingers to make a decorative border, removing any excess dough. Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line the crust with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights or uncooked beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, brush with the beaten egg and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 natural licorice sticks, cinnamon sticks, or bamboo skewers, each 6-inches long
6 Lady apples, stems removed
6 Seckel pears, stems removed
2 cups granola
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Insert a licorice stick, cinnamon stick, or bamboo skewer into the stem end of each apple and pear. Spread the granola on a baking sheet; reserve. Have ready 1 or more cooling racks or a large sheet of parchment paper for cooling the caramel fruits.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and water. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts. Add the butter and cream, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the caramel registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
  • One at a time, dip the apples and pears in the caramel, twirling and swirling them to coat completely. Dip the tops in the granola to coat them, then transfer to the cooling rack or the parchment paper to cool. As the apples and pears cool, the caramel will set. Store the caramel apples and pears, wrapped in cellophane if desired, in a cool, dry place until ready to serve or up to 2 days.

⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Roll remaining Pie Dough disk into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 10 (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut 5 of the strips in half again lengthwise.

Trim excess dough, and crimp edges as desired. Brush crust with beaten egg, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Freeze pie 10 minutes.
  • Place pie on prepared baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven on bottom rack until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 55 minutes, covering loosely with aluminum foil during last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE



Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie image

To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.

Time 1h40m
