FAVORITE FRENCH CANADIAN MEAT PIE



Favorite French Canadian Meat Pie image

I'm a seventh-generation French Canadian, and my ancestors started the tradition of serving this meat pie on Christmas Eve. One year I didn't make it, and my daughter and I felt something was missing. The savory pie goes well with salad and fresh rolls for a lighter meal, and it's good served in small portions with turkey and all the trimmings, too.

Tips:

  • To make the pie crust, use a food processor or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When adding the water, do so slowly until the dough just comes together. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • To blind bake the pie crust, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bottom is set.
  • To make the apple filling, peel and core the apples. Cut them into thin slices.
  • In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  • Toss the apples to coat them evenly with the spices.
  • Pour the apple filling into the cooled pie crust.
  • To make the lattice top, roll out the remaining pie dough to a 12-inch circle.
  • Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips.
  • Place half of the strips horizontally across the pie filling, spacing them evenly.
  • Fold back every other strip of dough, then place the remaining strips vertically across the pie filling.
  • Unfold the folded strips of dough and tuck them under the bottom crust.
  • Trim the edges of the dough and crimp them to seal.
  • Brush the top of the pie crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

French Canadian apple pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy apple filling, and lattice top, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
