NO PIE APPLE PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, but delicious)
3 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled, halved vertically and cored
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 orange, zested and juiced (about 3 tablespoons juice and 2 teaspoons zest)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup slivered or sliced almonds
Pinch kosher salt
Honey, for serving
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the apple pie spice: Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom if using in a small bowl.
  • For the apples: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the apple halves core-side down on a flat surface. Before slicing, place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of them to make sure you don't cut all the way through. Slice almost all the way to the bottom of each apple half at 1/4-inch intervals, then place them on a sheet pan.
  • Mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice and the orange juice in a pitcher. Drizzle over the apples, making sure they are well coated and the drizzle goes into the slits. Bake until they are just starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the oats, almonds, salt, remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, orange zest and remaining apple pie spice. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, making sure to get some between the slices without breaking the apples. Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden, another 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey and serve with ice cream.

APPLE PIE WITH NO APPLES



Apple Pie With No Apples image

This recipe is one that my mother, grandmother and great grandmother made. I thought it had been lost when my mother died. Imagine my surprise when I found it written on the inside of her favorite cookbook, which I inherited. I had no idea whether or not it would taste as good as my childhood memories when I made it. It does. One can use either pre-made unbaked pie shells and/or crusts, or homemade. I used a pre-made, unbaked shell and then cut up a premade (boxed) unbaked crust for the lattice top. The extra pie crust I sprinkled with sugar and baked along with the pie. I remember the "pie crust cookies" from my childhood too. This pie has the taste and texture of a real apple pie, and it's a lot of fun to see the expressions when it's revealed that the 'secret ingredient' is Ritz crackers. It's a quick and easy recipe that tastes good.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. The best apples for apple pie are firm, tart apples that hold their shape when baked. Some good varieties include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the apples.
  • Add some spices to the apples. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are all classic apple pie spices. You can also add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste.
  • Make sure the pie crust is golden brown. This will help to keep the filling from seeping out. You can brush the crust with milk or egg wash before baking to help it brown.
  • Let the pie cool before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a dish that everyone will love.
