Categories     Healthy Pie Recipes

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), cut into chunks
4-5 tablespoons ice water
8 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (6-8 apples), a mix of sweet and tart, such as Cortland and/or McIntosh
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup pure maple syrup
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
Sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare crust: Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or food processor. Work butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives or by pulsing in the food processor until it's pebble-sized. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is evenly moist (but not wet) and is just starting to clump together, being careful not to overmix. Divide dough into 2 pieces and pat each into a 5-inch disk. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Remove from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling out.
  • To prepare filling & bake pie: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll one portion of dough between sheets of parchment paper into a 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan (not deep-dish). Remove the second sheet.
  • Toss apples in a large bowl with flour, maple syrup, lemon zest, cinnamon, ginger and salt until evenly coated. Spoon the apple mixture into the crust. Roll the second portion of dough between the sheets of parchment into a 13-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough onto the fruit. Peel off the remaining sheet. Tuck the top crust under the bottom crust, sealing the two together. Flute the edge of the crust with your fingers or crimp with a fork. Brush the crust with egg, cut several slits in the top and sprinkle with sugar (if using).
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees . Continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour more.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

GINGER PECAN OATMEAL CRISPS



Ginger Pecan Oatmeal Crisps image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup pecan halves
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Grind the oatmeal and pecan pieces in a food processor until they resemble cornmeal--reasonably fine but with some texture. Whisk the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, ginger, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the oat/nut mixture.
  • In another medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Gradually add the granulated and light brown sugar; continue beating until evenly combined, about 3 minutes more. Add the vanilla and the egg.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients to make a textured dough. Line a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans with plastic wrap and pack dough into the bottom half of the pan. Press to level off the dough. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and refrigerate until completely firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Remove dough from the pan and unwrap. Slice dough in half lengthwise if using a large pan. Slice each log crosswise into 1/4-inch thick cookies. Place the cookies about a 1-inch apart on the prepared pans. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and crisp. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS



Incredibly Crisp Gingersnaps image

In 1998, I was invited by Pat Adrian, director of the Good Cook division of the Book of the Month Club, to judge the group's annual office baking contest. There were luscious cakes, pies and cookies of all types, but these gingersnaps were the hands-down winners. Julie Ellis-Clayton, the winner of the contest, was kind enough to share her recipe with me.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl, for finishing

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

GINGERNUT BISCUITS



Gingernut Biscuits image

Another recipe from the family cookbooks that I inherited from my Mother and my Grandmother. I can almost smell these baking when I close my eyes and think of Gran. A "memory" recipe as well as a yummy treat. If you make these into very little balls, about the size of an oversized marble or a gobstopper then you will get the cookies as shown in my photograph, and the centers will be ever so slightly chewy. These are traditionally a very hard crisp biscuit (cookie) made for dunking into tea or coffee, and the bigger you make the balls the crunchier the end result. Usually I store these in an airtight container to keep them crisp, but if you made some of these crunchier and you want them REALLY chewy after all, just leave some out of the container for a while and hey presto... divine which ever way you prefer them.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use good quality butter, flour, and sugar to ensure the best flavor and texture of the ginger nut crisps.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough and chewy crisps. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the crisps to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the crisps until they are golden brown: The crisps should be golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the crisps cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Ginger nut crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of ginger nut crisps that will be sure to please everyone. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a special treat to serve at a party, ginger nut crisps are a great option.
