Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten, divided
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pounds tart apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup sultana raisins
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  • Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 egg, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and sides of the prepared cake pan.
  • Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over the dough in the cake pan.
  • Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.
  • Brush remaining beaten egg over the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.

APPELTAART

A traditional Dutch apple pie, the appeltaart has reportedly been showing up on dinner tables since the Middle Ages. This modern rendition flavors sweet-tart apples with a speculaas-inspired spice blend, and bakes them inside a rich, crisp, and buttery double crust.

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 sticks plus 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
4 large egg yolks, plus 1 egg white
5 pounds tart apples, such as Granny Smith (10 to 12), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 15 cups)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups packed light-brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cinnamon sticks, ground (1 tablespoon)
7 whole cloves, ground (1/4 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds, ground (a heaping 1/4 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, ground (a heaping 1/4 teaspoon)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Add egg yolks; pulse until no dry flour remains but dough is still crumbly (do not overmix, or pastry will be tough).
  • Transfer two-thirds of dough to a 10-by-3-inch springform pan (or a cake pan with bottom and sides lined with 2 crisscrossed parchment strips, leaving 4 over-hanging ends), pressing it evenly into bottom and up sides. Shape remaining dough into a flat disk; wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate both doughs until firm, about 1 hour.
  • In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, 2 cups brown sugar, cornstarch, and spices. Transfer to chilled crust, tamping gently to compact filling. Roll out remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to an 11-inch round. Center over filling, then fold edges in and crimp together with sides of tart dough to adhere. Whisk together egg white and cream; brush over top of pastry. Cut a few vents in pastry. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and walnuts. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tart on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and fruit is tender, 2 hours to 2 hours, 15 minutes. Let cool completely (preferably overnight) in pan on a wire rack. Remove sides of springform or use parchment overhang to transfer tart to a cake plate. Cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream.

DUTCH APPLE PIE



Dutch Apple Pie image

This is from the first Apple Hill Cookbook attributed to Alice Naslen. Alice, I've made many, many pies by request and shared your recipe with many people. I humbly thank you. I always keep an extra bottle of bitters now. When I open one, I buy another. Once when I ran out of bitters, the store didn't have any! Thanksgiving was not the same!
