AUTUMN HARVEST PIE



AUTUMN HARVEST PIE image

Categories     Fruit

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 baking apples, such as Rome, Granny Smith, or Cortland, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
7 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 cups (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
Pie crust dough
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine apples and pears in a large mixing bowl. Add flour, sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, and zest, and mix. Add cranberries, and toss gently. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough. The excess will hang over the side. Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold the excess dough onto the top of the fruit, creating a container kind of top-crust. You'll cinch it in places to get it just right. It shouldn't be big enough to meet in the middle, but it's fine if it does. Brush pastry with cream. Sprinkle sugar lightly and evenly over the top of pie. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1- 1 1/2 hours more, or until crust is nice and golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pie crust: You can use a store-bought or homemade pie crust. If you're using a store-bought crust, make sure it's a deep-dish crust so that you have plenty of room for your filling.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Otherwise, the filling will bubble over and make a mess in your oven. Fill the pie crust about 3/4 full.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust and prevent the filling from becoming runny.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Harvest pies are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a harvest pie recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give one of these recipes a try.
