APPLE PARMESAN PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ice water
2 pounds apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored and cut into 1/3-inch wedges
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Chill the bowl and blade of a food processor for 1 hour before starting.
  • For the dough: To the food processor, add the flour and salt and pulse to combine. Add the cold butter and the cheese and pulse 3 or 4 times or until chickpea-sized pieces of butter remain. With the machine running, drizzle in the ice water until the dough just starts to come together. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a flat disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 2 days.
  • Position an oven rack on the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, flour, salt and cinnamon. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Divide the dough in half. Roll out one of the dough pieces to an approximately 11-inch round and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture. Roll out the remaining dough into another 11-inch round and place on top. Trim the edges so there is a 1/2-inch overhang around the plate. Tuck the overhang under itself and press down to seal the edge. Using 2 knuckles and the tip of your finger, crimp the edges to make a decorative edge. Cut an X in the center of the top pie crust and open the corners to make a small hole in the center of the pie. Brush the pie evenly with the egg and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
  • Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the mixture inside is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 (2 1/2 lb) rotisserie chicken, skin and bones discarded, meat shredded into bite-size pieces (3 cups)
4 celery ribs, sliced thin
2 granny smith apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 ounces baby arugula (4 cups)
salt
pepper

  • Combine chicken, celery, apples, and mayonnaise mixture in large bowl.
  • Gently toss arugula into chicken salad and season with salt and pepper to taste; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, crisp green apples for the best results.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples so that they cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the apples. This will prevent them from browning properly.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavor combinations. Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella are all good options.
  • If you are using a hard cheese, such as Parmesan, grate it finely so that it melts easily.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the towers. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the towers immediately after they are baked, while the cheese is still melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Green apple parmesan towers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
