Time 2h20m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pate Brisee for Pink-Applesauce Tart
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Break up topping into large pieces and sprinkle evenly over filling. Bake on center rack until bubbly and crust is golden brown, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.

Provided by Loriq

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Apple Pie Recipes

Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
⅓ cup butter
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened and dough comes together. Do not add more water than you need. Divide the dough in half and shape into 2 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with wax paper.
  • Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour to form a paste. Stir in 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread pecan mixture evenly onto lined pie pan. Roll out one ball of dough; line pie pan over pecan mixture. Toss apples with filling mixture; pour into pie plate. Roll out second ball of dough and place over apple filling. Crimp edges of bottom and top crusts together. Cut several small slits into top crust to vent. Place pie on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Remove pie from oven and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Place a serving plate gently over pie and carefully flip to invert, being careful not to come in contact with molten sugar. Peel off waxed paper; cool for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality pecan pie filling. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly browned.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

French Apple Pecan Pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a pie that will impress your family and friends.
