TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH RECIPES - APPLE BUTTERSCOTCH PIE



Traditional Scottish Recipes - Apple Butterscotch Pie image

I found this on rampantscotland.com an interesting and informative web site, and tried this on my family last night. Very good and easy. Especially when using ready prepared pie crust and sliced, tinned or frozen apples. A thin layer of plum jam and a meringue topping make this pie different, and extra good. Prep time is determined by whether or not you use fresh or tinned/frozen apples.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h7m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 inches flan pastry dough
4 -6 cups apples, to fill the flan case completely
100 g demerara sugar (light brown)
125 g granulated sugar
2 tablespoons plum jam
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cream
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • You can use a ready-prepared pastry flan case or make your own. I recommend Recipe #148258.(I would like to mention that on rampantscotland.com, most pie crust recipes are made with half lard, half butter. Seems to be another scottish touch, which I like).
  • Peel and thinly slice the apples to fill the case completely.
  • Beat together one egg and two tablespoon of cream. Mix this with the brown sugar, flour and pinch of salt.
  • Spread this mixture over the apples and bake in a preheated oven at 220C/425F/Gas mark 7 for ten minutes. Then reduce the heat to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 for a further 20 minutes or so, until the apples are soft.
  • Make a meringue topping by placing two egg whites in a dry bowl and beat with an electric whisk/mixer until firm peaks form. Add the white sugar gradually, beating constantly until the mixture is thick and glossy and all the sugar has dissolved.
  • Spread the plum jam over the apples and then spoon the meringue over the filling. Swirl into peaks with a fork or flat-bladed knife.
  • Bake for a further 20 minutes or so until the meringue is lightly golden.(watch kind of closely, I've burned meringues by following these directions excactly because ovens vary) Serve cold.

APPLESCOTCH PIE



Applescotch Pie image

Looking for a fruit pie? Then check out this delicious applescotch pie recipe - perfect for dessert.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 5 medium)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening
4 to 6 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix apples, brown sugar, water and lemon juice. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 7 to 8 minutes or just until apples are tender. In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup flour, the granulated sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt; stir into apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter; cool.
  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Divide pastry in half; shape each half into flattened round surface. Wrap flattened rounds of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Roll one round of pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold one pastry circle into fourths and place in pie plate. Unfold pastry and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked.
  • Spoon apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Trim overhanging edge of bottom pastry 1/2 inch from rim pf pan. Roll other round of pastry. Fold top pastry into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Place pastry over filling and unfold. Trim overhanging edge of top pastry 1 inch from rim of pan. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack at least 2 hours.

ULTIMATE APPLE PIE



Ultimate apple pie image

Try our classic Bramley apple pie with homemade shortcrust pastry. Simplicity is key to this traditional dish which makes for a comforting family pudding.

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Treat

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1kg Bramley apples
140g golden caster sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp flour
225g butter, room temperature
50g golden caster sugar, plus extra
2 eggs
350g plain flour, preferably organic
softly whipped cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Put a layer of paper towels on a large baking sheet. Quarter, core, peel and slice the apples about 5mm thick and lay evenly on the baking sheet. Put paper towels on top and set aside while you make and chill the pastry.
  • For the pastry, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until just mixed. Break in a whole egg and a yolk (keep the white for glazing later). Beat together for just under 1 min - it will look a bit like scrambled egg. Now work in the flour with a wooden spoon, a third at a time, until it's beginning to clump up, then finish gathering it together with your hands. Gently work the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 45 mins. Now mix the 140g/5oz sugar, the cinnamon and flour for the filling in a bowl that is large enough to take the apples later.
  • After the pastry has chilled, heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork. Cut off a third of the pastry and keep it wrapped while you roll out the rest, and use this to line a pie tin - 20-22cm round and 4cm deep - leaving a slight overhang. Roll the remaining third to a circle about 28cm in diameter. Pat the apples dry with kitchen paper, and tip them into the bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mix. Give a quick mix with your hands and immediately pile high into the pastry-lined tin.
  • Brush a little water around the pastry rim and lay the pastry lid over the apples pressing the edges together to seal. Trim the edge with a sharp knife and make 5 little slashes on top of the lid for the steam to escape. (Can be frozen at this stage.) Brush it all with the egg white and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 40-45 mins, until golden, then remove and let it sit for 5-10 mins. Sprinkle with more sugar and serve while still warm from the oven with softly whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classic spices for apple pie, but you can also add other spices like cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave some space at the edges so the filling can bubble up.
  • Brush the crust with milk or egg wash before baking: This will help it brown and give it a nice shine.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-60 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Scottish apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a flaky crust and a sweet and tangy apple filling. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Scottish apple pie that your family and friends will love. For a fun twist, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
