DEEP DISH STRAWBERRY PIE



Deep Dish Strawberry Pie image

A chocolate-painted baked pie crust prevents this pie from getting soggy and adds a wonderful flavor complementing the strawberries! Serve with whipped cream. I am adding blueberries just around the inner edge of the pie crust after the filling has been added to create a nice red, white, and blue theme for our 4th of July celebration!

Time 9h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pastry for a 9-inch deep dish pie crust
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled, divided
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¾ cup ginger ale
3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust pastry into a 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate. Prick bottom and sides of pastry with fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, 1 to 3 minutes. Paint melted chocolate in the bottom and inside of cooled pie crust. Place chocolate-painted crust in freezer to harden the chocolate, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the prettiest strawberry, cut-side down, in the center of the chocolate crust. Arrange as many attractive strawberries as possible around the center strawberry, so they appear as circles around the center.
  • Mash the remaining strawberries in a bowl; transfer to a saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice; bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Whisk ginger ale and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; gradually stir into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon strawberry sauce over strawberries in pie shell. Chill in refrigerator until pie is set, at least 8 hours.

PEAR-CRANBERRY DEEP-DISH PIE



Pear-Cranberry Deep-Dish Pie image

When the autumn crop of fresh pears arrives at your market, it's the perfect time to bake this lovely cranberry-studded, single-crust pie. Pears are prime for baking when just barely soft to the touch on their stem ends.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

0.333 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
6 medium pears, cored and sliced (2 to 2-1/2 pounds total)
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
Pastry
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
Demerara or raw sugar (optional)
0.75 cup cake flour
0.25 cup whole wheat flour
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 cup butter, chilled
3 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a very large bowl combine sugar, flour, nutmeg, and ginger. Add pear slices and cranberries; toss gently to coat. Transfer to an ungreased 2-quart round baking dish or casserole.
  • On a lightly floured surface, flatten Pastry dough. Using a rolling pin, roll dough from center to edge into a circle that is about 1 inch wider than the top of the baking dish or casserole. Using cookie cutters, cut a few small shapes from center of the pastry. Set shapes aside. Transfer the dough circle to the top of the fruit mixture. Trim edge as needed to fit the baking dish or casserole; if desired, crimp edge. Brush top of pastry and dough cutouts with milk. Place dough cutouts on the pastry, leaving openings for air to vent.
  • Place baking dish or casserole on a foil-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake, uncovered, for 55 to 60 minutes or until pear mixture is bubbly. Cool pie about 30 minutes on a wire rack and serve warm. (Or cool completely before serving.) Pastry
  • In a medium bowl stir together cake flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in chilled butter until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all of the flour mixture is moistened (3 to 4 tablespoons cold water total). Shape dough into a ball.

DEEP DISH PEACH PIE



Deep Dish Peach Pie image

This pie slices beautifully and has a delicious peach filling, but the real star is the crust -- crisp, crunchy and perfectly sweet.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h25m

Yield 1 deep-dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note), plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup chilled vegetable shortening
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus extra for the pan
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
2 1/2 pounds peach wedges (from 8 to 10 medium peaches), thawed and drained if frozen
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Oil, for oiling the foil
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the crust: Put the flour, granulated sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until it looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is about the size of a pea. Add 4 tablespoon ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly (add the remaining tablespoon water if necessary). Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one made from a third of the dough and the other from the remaining two-thirds of the dough. Form each into a disc and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • For the peach filling: Combine the peach wedges, light brown sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll the larger piece of dough into a 14-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into the pan, patting it in gently, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Pour in the filling.
  • Roll out the other piece of dough into a 10-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick and place it over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim any excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the edge of the pan like a collar to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust and chill the pie 30 minutes.
  • Place the pie on the foil-lined baking sheet and immediately reduce the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the pie for 1 hour. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with some granulated sugar. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes more. Let cool 1 hour, then carefully remove the edge of the pan. Let cool completely, about 1 more hour, before slicing.

PEAR-CRANBERRY PIE WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Provided by MarraMamba

Categories     Pie

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 flaky pie dough
1 large egg, beaten with
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
12 gingersnaps, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 lbs ripe Anjou pears (about 5, peeled, halved, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick)
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the Flaky Pie Dough to a 12-inch round and fit it into a 9-inch deep dish glass pie plate. (you can use regular but might have trouble fitting the filling) Trim the overhang to 1 inch, fold it under and crimp decoratively. Brush the rim with the egg wash and refrigerate the pie shell until chilled.
  • MAKE THE TOPPING: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, gingersnap crumbs, ginger and salt. Stir in the melted butter until large crumbs form.
  • MAKE THE FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, toss the pears with the cranberries, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla. In a small bowl, toss the sugar with the cornstarch, then stir the sugar into the fruit.
  • Pour the fruit into the chilled pie shell. Pour the gingersnap crumbs onto the pie, carefully spreading them to the edge to cover the filling completely. Set the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling; cover the pie loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly. Let cool before slicing.

PEAR CRANBERRY PIE



Pear Cranberry Pie image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 9h45m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ounces vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 to 7 tablespoons cranberry juice
12 ounces all-purpose flour, about 2 3/4 cups, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 to 3 1/2-pounds pears, a mixture of Bartlett, Bosc and/or Anjou
1/2 cup sugar, divided
6 ounces dried cranberries
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons cranberry jam
1 tablespoon cranberry juice
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For the crust
  • Place the butter, shortening and cranberry juice into the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour salt and sugar by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add the butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until the texture looks mealy. Add the shortening and pulse another 3 to 4 times until incorporated.
  • Remove the lid of the food processor and sprinkle in 5 tablespoons of the cranberry juice. Replace the lid and pulse 5 times. Add more cranberry juice as needed, and pulse again until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Weight the dough and divide in half. Shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Peel and core the pears. Slice into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss all of the pears with 1/4 cup of the sugar, place in a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer the drained liquid to a small saucepan, place over medium heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons. Set aside to cool. Toss the pears with the remaining sugar, cranberries, tapioca flour, jam, cranberry juice, lemon juice, salt and nutmeg.
  • For assembling and baking the pie:
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove 1 disk of dough from the refrigerator. Place the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper. Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and roll out into a 12-inch circle. Place into a 9 1/2 to 10-inch tart pan that is 2 inches deep. Gently press the dough into the sides of the pan, crimping and trimming the edges as necessary. Set a pie bird in the center of the bottom of the pan. Place the pears into the unbaked pie shell in concentric circles starting around the edges, working towards the center and forming a slight mound in the center of the pie. Sprinkle the cranberries a little at a time as you go.
  • Pour over any liquid that remains in the bowl. Roll out the second pie dough as the first. Place this dough over the apples, pressing the pie bird through the top crust. Press together the edges of the dough around the rim of the pie. Brush the top crust with the reduced juice everywhere except around the edge of the pie. Trim excess dough. Place the pie on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake on the floor of the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to the lower rack of the oven and continue to bake another 20 minutes or until the pears are cooked through but not mushy. Remove to a rack and cool a minimum of 4 hours or until almost room temperature.

DEEP DISH BLUEBERRY PIE



Deep Dish Blueberry Pie image

I got this recipe from Epicurious.com. I wanted to try making a blueberry pie using frozen blueberries. This one came out very good. It wasn't overly sweet which my DH loved. However, I found it a bit runny. Next time I make it, I will increase the amount of tapioca by one or two tablespoons to thicken it more. You can also use 6 cups of fresh wild blueberries in this. I can't find them here in the south west so I opted to use the frozen. I served this a al mode. I used Vanilla Soy Ice Cream which was really delicious. The pie crust I used with this is: http://www.recipezaar.com/97877 In my opinion, this is one of the best crusts for a berry pie. This recipe is for one crust only so you will have to double it. When I make this crust I prepare each crust separately and put the first one into the fridge to chill while I make the second. Then I assemble the pie.

Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
5 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (I used goat butter)
1 large egg (beaten with 1 tbsp. water for glazing the crust)

Steps:

  • Special Equipment:
  • One -9 1/2 inch deep dish pie with a 6 cup capacity. Small decorative cookie cutters (optional).
  • Put a large baking sheet with sides on the middle oven rack and preheat in a 425'F.
  • Whisk together the brown sugar and tapioca and toss with the blueberries and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • I made two separate cream cheese pie crusts for this pie.
  • Once you make one crust, put it into the fridge in a plastic bag right after you make it.
  • Roll out the second pie crust you've made and put it into your deep dish pie plate. Trim the edges leaving a 1/2 inch over hang on the sides. Put this in the fridge to chill. This will prevent shrinkage. Put it into the fridge to chill.
  • Get the first pie crust that you put into the fridge and roll it out. Now you could cut shapes out of the top of the crust and then lay the crust on top of the pie, but I didn't do this, I just used a full sized top crust. I have one of those black birds that you put in the middle of your pie for a steam vent.
  • Get the chilled crust that is in your pie plate out of the fridge and put all the blueberry filling including the juice into the bottom crust. Dot it with the butter.
  • Cover with the top crust and trim it to 1/2 inch over the edge of the pie. Then tuck it under the bottom crust over hang and flute the edges.
  • I like to use the thumb and finger flute method, as it is really pretty. Brush the top of the pie with your egg/water wash.
  • Sprinkle with some sanding sugar if you wish.
  • Bake the pie in your hot oven for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it, I noticed the edges of my top crust browned before 30 minutes so I put a metal pie-edge ring on my pie to prevent it from getting any browner.
  • After 30 minutes is up turn the heat down to 375'F and continue to bake for another 45-50 minutes. The crust should be golden and the filling hot and bubbling at this point.
  • When done, cool on a metal rack, about 4 hours if you can wait that long. If you don't the pie filling will be runny.
  • Serve up with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Bon Appetit.

PEAR-CRANBERRY PIE WITH FAUX LATTICE



Pear-Cranberry Pie with Faux Lattice image

Pears mixed with cranberries and sweetened with brown sugar create a juicy crimson filling that gently bubbles up around the faux lattice brushed with apricot jam. You will need a 3/4-inch square cutter for the geometric pattern in the top crust of this pie.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
Pate Brisee for Spiced Apple Pie
5 ripe Bartlett pears (2 1/2 pounds; Bosc or Anjou can be substituted)
6 2/3 cups (24 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim edges flush with rim. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • On a piece of lightly floured parchment paper, roll out remaining disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Top with an inverted 9-inch pie plate or a cake ring, and gently press to make a light indentation (this will be your guide for cutting the lattice to fit the pie). Using a 3/4-inch square cutter, cut a lattice pattern out of the round, leaving at least 1/2 inch between cutouts and edge of round. Transfer squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet. To make partial squares where the lattice meets the rounded edge, make a very light indentation with the cutter, then cut out the portion of the square that is inside the round with a knife. Using a paring knife or a pizza cutter, cut out the round, leaving an additional 1/2 inch of dough beyond the marked circle. Reroll scraps, and cut out as many additional squares as possible. Transfer parchment with the lattice top to a baking sheet. Refrigerate lattice top and squares for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in middle and lower positions. Peel, halve, and core pears. Very thinly slice 3 pears lengthwise, and cut remaining 2 pears into 8 wedges each.
  • Toss together pears, cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape vanilla seeds over pear mixture, and toss until seeds have been evenly incorporated. Pour filling into piecrust, gently pressing to make it as level as possible. Dot filling with butter.
  • To make egg wash, whisk together egg yolk and cream in a small bowl. Lightly brush edge of piecrust with egg wash. Remove lattice crust and squares from refrigerator. Gently place another baking sheet on top of lattice, and carefully invert. Slide lattice on top of filling, and remove parchment. Gently press edges of crust to seal, trimming edges of lattice if necessary.
  • Lightly brush lattice with egg wash. Arrange dough squares around edge of pie, overlapping them slightly. Lightly brush top of each square with egg wash as you work to help them adhere.
  • Place a foil-lined baking sheet on lower oven rack to catch any juices. Place pie on middle rack, and bake until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling gently, 90 to 100 minutes. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Let pie cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat preserves in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Puree in a food processor until smooth. Press through a fine sieve into a bowl or another saucepan, and reheat if necessary. Brush warm pie with a generous amount of warm apricot glaze. Let cool completely on rack.

Deep-Dish Blackberry Pie image

I THINK BACK to 1942 when I make this dessert. We grew extra large and juicy blackberries that year, and Mother canned 400 quarts. For years, whenever we went home to visit, Mother brought up jars of blackberries from the cellar and treated us to the best cobblers, jam cakes or jam in the world. -Dorothy Lilliquist, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

Tips for Making a Perfect Deep-Dish Pear-Cranberry Pie:

- Use a combination of ripe pears and cranberries for the filling. This will give the pie a delicious balance of sweetness and tartness. - Peel and slice the pears thinly so that they cook evenly. - Toss the pears and cranberries with sugar, cornstarch, and spices before adding them to the pie crust. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from becoming runny. - Use a deep-dish pie plate to ensure that there is enough room for the filling. - Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. - Let the pie cool completely before serving.
