One bite, and Grandma was right. If you want to learn how to make homemade apple pie filling, this is really the only recipe you need. -Maggie Greene, Granite Falls, Washington

TOM'S MOM'S APPLE PIE

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 4h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus extra for bench flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup cold lard (about 4 ounces), broken up into small pieces
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup cold water
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 Granny Smith apples (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
8 ounces cold mascarpone
3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the pie crust: Place the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse once or twice to evenly incorporate. Add the butter and lard and pulse until the fat is broken down into pea-size pieces, 5 to 6 pulses. Add the cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the cold water and pulse to combine. Continue adding a tablespoon of water at a time and pulsing after each addition until the dough just comes together (you may not need the full 1/3 cup water). Remove the dough from the food processor and form a third of the dough (about 9 ounces) into a disk. Form the remaining two-thirds of the dough (about 1 pound) into another disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove the dough disks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes to take the chill off.
  • For the filling: Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Put the apple slices in a large bowl and stir in the sugar mixture and orange juice. Mix to combine.
  • Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the larger disk of dough into a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 10-inch pie dish. Pour the apple filling into the shell and then evenly distribute the butter pieces over the apples. Roll out the second disk of dough into an approximately 11-by-10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into six strips, about 11 inches long by 1 1/4 inches thick.
  • Form a lattice top by laying 3 parallel dough strips vertically across the pie. Fold the middle strip of dough in half back over itself and lay one piece of dough horizontally across the middle of the pie, perpendicular to the other dough strips. Fold the original strip of dough back down. Next, lift the other two strips of dough and fold them back over themselves. Lay another strip of dough perpendicular to the folded-over dough pieces. Fold those pieces back down and repeat on the other side with the remaining piece of dough. Trim the dough around the edges of the pie dish so there is no more than a 1/2-inch overhang.
  • Fold the bottom crust up and over the edges of the lattice top and crimp the edges together between your forefingers and thumbs. Place the pie on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the filling begins to bubble, another 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 1 hour.
  • For the mascarpone whipped cream: Combine the mascarpone, cream and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks and is thick. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (This can be made the day before.)
  • Cut the pie into slices and top with the mascarpone whipped cream.

APPLE HAND PIES



Apple Hand Pies image

These hand pies, also known as turnovers, look too perfect to be homemade. Any of your favorite pie fillings, both sweet and savory, will work. I hope you give this easy technique a try soon. Enjoy!

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Apple Pie Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound prepared pie dough, cut into 4 pieces
2 large green apples, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 teaspoon water, or more if needed
1 egg
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed - divided

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Cut peeled and cored apples into quarters, cut each quarter into 3 wedges, and cut wedges into chunks.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; let butter brown to a light golden color and until butter smells toasted, about 1 minute. Stir apples into hot butter; sprinkle with salt, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cook and stir apple mixture until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Mix in cinnamon and water; continue cooking until apples are soft and sticky, 1 to 2 more minutes. Spread apple filling onto a plate to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Form a dough piece into a ball, place on a floured work surface, and roll into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup apple filling in the center. Fold dough over filling, leaving about 1 inch of dough on the bottom side visible below the top side. Gently press dough closed around filling, using your fingertips.
  • Fold the overhanging bottom part of the dough up over the top edge, working your way around the crust, and pinch the overhang tightly to the top part of the crust.
  • Crimp the edge tightly closed, pinching a little bit of dough with the thumb and forefinger of one hand and using your index finger on the other hand to push a small notch into the pinched dough. Continue pinching and notching all the way around until the crust is tightly crimped together. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Transfer pies onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg with milk in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Brush top of each hand pie with egg mixture and sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon white sugar. Cut 3 small vent holes in the top of each pie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pies are golden brown and filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

APPLE PIE TASSIES



Apple Pie Tassies image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup confectioners? sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 pound baking apples (such as Golden Delicious, Gala or Fuji), peeled and diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup water, if needed, plus 1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the confectioners? sugar and salt until fluffy, about 1 more minute. Gradually beat in the flour until the dough comes together.
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead a few times until smooth. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch-long rope. Cut each rope into 12 pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and put the balls in a 24-cup mini-muffin tin. Use your thumb to press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the cups, making the bottom slightly thinner than the sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Toss the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, apple pie spice and vanilla in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. There should be some liquid left in the skillet; if not, stir in 1/4 cup water.
  • Mix the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl; stir into the apple mixture and bring to a boil. Cook until thick and bubbling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl to cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the tassies are golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then use an offset spatula to remove the tassies and transfer to a rack to cool completely. They will crisp as they cool.

3 tablespoons water
3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
2 premade pie crusts, rolled out into ⅛-inch (3-mm) thick

  • Gently lay 1 rolled-out pie crust in a 10-inch (25-cm) pie dish.
  • Lay the apples in the pie crust, making sure they are flat and facing the rounded edges out in order to fit as many apples as possible in the crust. Pour any leftover liquid from the bowl over the apples.

60-MINUTE APPLE PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



60-Minute Apple Pie Recipe by Tasty image

With a little help from store-bought pie dough, this quintessential apple pie takes only 1 hour to make (including baking time!). We gave it an upgrade by creating a beautiful lattice decoration on top and garnishing with raw sugar for added texture.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ lb Golden Delicious apples
1 ½ cups gala apple
¾ cup brown sugar
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
all purpose flour, for dusting
2 store-bought pie dough rounds, divided
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
1 tablespoon raw sugar

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the oven, then preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Peel the Golden Delicious and Gala apples, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the apples and mix until the apples are well coated.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out a pie dough round to a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, brushing off any excess flour, then unroll into a 9-inch (24 cm) pie dish, making sure the dough is centered. Fill with the apple mixture. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
  • Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
  • Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips. Fold back the 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and place another 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip horizontally across the pie about ⅓ of the way down. Fold the vertical 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips back down. Continue adding the remaining ½-inch (1.24 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips to create a lattice top.
  • Roll the excess dough around the edges inward toward the pie, tucking the ends in. Use your index finger on one hand and thumb and index finger on the other hand to crimp the edge. Brush off any excess flour, then brush the egg wash all over the dough. Sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
  • Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the pie dish on top, then return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

TASTES LIKE APPLE PIE APPLE SQUARES!



Tastes Like Apple Pie Apple Squares! image

From my favourite church cookbook, where all the recipes are tried and true! **Like most of the reviews state, if you don't want to fight with the pastry to make it fit a cookie sheet - make 1.5x the dough recipe or use a smaller pan.

Provided by CrystalB

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cookie sheet, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 large egg yolk, slightly beaten, plus (save white)
milk, to make 2/3 cup liquid
5 -6 apples, pared and sliced
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt and cut in shortening. Add egg and milk mixture and mix till it forms a ball. Divide dough in half. Roll first half in 17 x 12 inch rectangle. Place in cookie sheet and bring pastry up sides.
  • Cover pastry with apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (homemade chunky applesauce also works well).
  • Roll out second half of dough and place on top of apples. Moisten edges with milk and pinch together.
  • Beat egg white until stiff and brush on crust. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
  • Mix glaze ingredients together and brush on crust.
  • This square freezes beautifully.

Tips:

  • Use the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices for apple pie because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the filling.
  • Peel and slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave some room for the filling to expand as it bakes.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking: This will help them brown and give the pie a golden crust.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
