MUSLIM BEAN PIE



Muslim Bean Pie image

This recipe was given to me by a friend of my wife. It is the best bean pie I have tried, and I've tried quite a few. I use a convection oven so I'm a little lenient with the bake time. My oven bakes a little faster than regular ovens. I am working on a chocolate version, a low fat version and a sugar free version of this pie. I'll post these recipes as soon as I perfect them.

This is a traditional Muslim bean pie that most people have never had and even more have never made. Made with navy beans, it is surprisingly a wonderful dessert. Once you've had it, you'll love making it. There are only a few recipes for this pie and it took me years of tweaking other recipes to come up with one that actually makes an edible bean pie. This recipe you can trust to make an awesome dessert.

CLASSIC PECAN PIE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon ice water, if needed
2 cups pecans
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon bourbon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse about 10 times until it looks like cornmeal with pea-size bits of butter. Add the egg and pulse 1 or 2 more times. If the dough is very dry, add the water. Pulse 8 to 10 times until the dough starts to clump together and there is no visible flour. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position racks in the middle and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375˚. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the nuts cool slightly, then roughly chop.
  • Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until the dough is dry and set around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans and continue baking until the crust is light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, bourbon and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring; boil 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla bean paste. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk the eggs into the filling until smooth, then pour the filling into the hot crust. (If the crust has cooled, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through before filling.)
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚. Bake the pie (on the baking sheet) on the lower oven rack until the edges are set but the center is still slightly loose, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the crust is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.

CLASSIC APPLE PIE



Classic Apple Pie image

In this very classic, cinnamon-scented pie, the apples are sautéed in butter before they're piled in the crust, ensuring that they're tender but not mushy. Use firm, crisp apples here, preferably all one kind so the slices cook evenly. Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Ginger Gold and Granny Smith apples are good options. (Honeycrisps will give you the sweetest pie, while Granny Smiths the most tart.) If using a glass or ceramic pie pan, consider parbaking the bottom crust. Glass doesn't conduct heat as well as metal, so the crust may not cook through if you don't parbake.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 1/2 pounds firm, crisp apples (see Tip), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges (about 11 cups)
1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or a little more if your apples are very sweet
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
Dough for a 9-inch double crust pie
Heavy cream, milk or a beaten egg, for glazing (optional)
Demerara sugar, for glazing (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat and add apples to the pan. Stir to coat with butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugars, spices and salt. Sprinkle over the apples and toss to combine.
  • Lower heat to medium and cook until apples have softened completely but still hold their shape, about 17 to 25 minutes. (Some varieties cook more quickly than others.)
  • Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and stir in lemon juice and zest. Allow apples to cool completely (spreading them onto a rimmed baking sheet speeds this up). Apples can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a 9- or 10-inch metal pie plate, trimming it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang. Place crust in the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10- to 11-inch circle. Remove pie crust from freezer and add the cooled filling in an even layer. Cover apples with remaining dough. Press the edges together, trim the excess dough, and crimp the edges with your fingers or a press down with the tines of a fork. (Using a fork might be easier if the bottom crust is too cold to crimp.) Brush the top of the pie with cream, milk, or some beaten egg, then sprinkle lightly with sugar if you like. Using a sharp knife, cut some steam vents in the top of the crust.
  • Place pie on the hot sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling bubbles in the steam vents, and the crust is golden brown. Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. The pie can be baked up to 24 hours ahead of serving; do not refrigerate before serving.

Tips:

- Use dried beans for the filling, as they are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans. - Be sure to soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help to reduce their cooking time and make them more digestible. - When cooking the beans, add a bay leaf and a clove of garlic to the water. This will help to enhance the flavor of the beans. - Once the beans are cooked, mash them until they are smooth. You can use a food processor or a potato masher for this. - Add the mashed beans to a pot with the other filling ingredients and cook until the mixture is thickened. - Be sure to use a deep-dish pie plate when baking the bean pie. This will help to prevent the filling from bubbling over. - Serve the bean pie warm with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Bean pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a relatively inexpensive dish to make, making it a great option for families on a budget. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can make a delicious bean pie that everyone will love.
