APPLE AND PEAR STREUSEL PIE



Apple and Pear Streusel Pie image

You might think that a pastry chef would never recommend buying pie crusts but hey, its much better to make a pie with a pre-made crust than not to make a pie at all! For the best flavor, always look for the ones made with at least some butter, rather than all shortening. You can place the crust in a glass pie dish. That way you can check the bottom crust as it bakes and make sure it's getting nice and golden which to my mind is the most important step in pie-making. Nothing ruins a delicious pie like this classic combination of autumn fruits and warm spices faster than an undercooked, soggy bottom crust. You can mix the topping and keep it refrigerated for up to 7 days.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 refrigerated or frozen 9-inch deep-dish pie crust (see above)
3 Granny Smith or other tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 firm but ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, pinch the ingredients together into a sandy, crumbly mixture. Do not over mix; as soon as the mixture is sandy, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. If using a refrigerated crust, use it to line a glass pie dish. If using a frozen crust, let thaw at room temperature and gently remove the crust from the aluminum liner. Transfer to a glass pie dish.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the apples, pears, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and butter together. Place the filling in the pie crust. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top and place the pie on a sheet pan to catch any juices. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling. Check the pie after 30 minutes; if the streusel topping is already brown, cover lightly with foil.
  • Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, frozen
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
6 cups Honeycrisp apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 scant cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 large egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
  • Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the eggs, sour cream, applesauce, sugars, salt, rolled oats, and cinnamon together. Stir the apple slices in. Set aside. 2. With a pastry blender, mix the 1/4-cup brown sugar, flour, butter, and walnut pieces in a small bowl to make the topping. Set aside. 3. Pour the filling mixture into the pie shell.Spoon the topping over the filling. 4. Cover the edges of the pie shell with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the edges and bake for another 30 minutes or until done. Baker's note: As with most fruit pies, the secret of getting a crisp bottom crust is heat. Set the shelf for the bottom half of the oven closer to the heating element. Use a dark metal pie pan so that the pan absorbs, rather than reflects, heat.

APPLE PIE WITH OAT STREUSEL



Apple Pie with Oat Streusel image

The technique: Streusel-a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and spices-often shows up on coffee cakes. The sweet, crunchy stuff also makes a great pie-topper. The payoff: You have to roll out only one pie crust instead of two, and the streusel adds texture and flavor.

DUTCH APPLE PIE



Dutch Apple Pie image

The difference between classic apple pie and a Dutch apple pie recipe is all in the delicious crumb topping. Dutch apple pie topping is made with butter, Gold Medal™ flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and you'll know when it's ready to come out of the oven when the crumb toppings are a deep golden brown. Instead of a second pie crust, enjoy a generous blanket of sweet streusel crumbs-sprinkled over a tender spiced apple filling.

Provided by Stephanie Wise

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
8 cups sliced cored peeled apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the 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. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round 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.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. On surface sprinkled with flour, using floured rolling pin, roll pastry dough into circle 2 inches larger than 9-inch pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold 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. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
  • In large bowl, toss Filling ingredients. Pour into pie plate, mounding apples toward center.
  • In medium bowl, use pastry blender or fingers to mix butter, 1 cup flour and the brown sugar until a crumb forms. Sprinkle evenly over top of pie. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar on top.
  • Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until pie crust and crumb topping are deep golden brown and filling begins to bubble. Transfer to cooling rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates pea-sized crumbles that will hold their shape when baked, resulting in a streusel topping that is both crispy and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will create a tough, dense streusel topping. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and the dough comes together.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your streusel topping. Try adding nuts, seeds, spices, or even dried fruit for a unique twist.
  • Bake the streusel topping until it is golden brown: A golden brown streusel topping is a sign that it is cooked through and has developed a delicious, caramelized flavor.
  • Let the streusel topping cool before serving: This will allow the topping to set and will prevent it from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Streusel topping is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor and texture to your favorite desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a streusel topping that will take your desserts to the next level. So next time you're baking, don't forget to add a streusel topping! Your taste buds will thank you.
