Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Time 4h

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1 1/2 ounces walnuts, toasted and chopped (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water
5 to 6 Granny Smith apples
3 firm-ripe Bosc pears
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 5 teaspoons)
1/2 stick unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Fine sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Crust: Pulse flour, walnuts, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor until walnuts are finely chopped. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Drizzle pi cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture comes together when pressed in your hand (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse.
  • Lay out 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Empty half the dough onto each piece. Bring edges of wrap together to gather dough. Press into disks. Roll out disks, still wrapped in plastic, to 1/2-inch-thick rounds (8 inches in diameter). Refrigerate at least 45 minutes and up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes before rolling.
  • Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round (a generous 1/8-inch thickness) on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll out remaining disk of dough to a generous 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate, along with dough in pie plate, until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Filling: Peel and core apples, and cut into eighths (you should have about 7 cups). Peel and core pears, and cut into eighths (you should have about 5 cups). Toss apple and pear slices with salt, granulated sugar, vanilla seeds, and lemon juice. Melt butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add fruit mixture, and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until fruit is softened, about 5 minutes more. Stir in flour, and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; let filling cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in lower third of oven. Cut dough on baking sheet into 3-inch-wide strips. Pour filling into dough-lined pie plate, and brush edge of dough with some egg wash. Weave dough strips into a lattice over filling, and press overhang onto edge of crust. Trim edge, fold under, and crimp as desired. Brush top of pie with more egg wash, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling through lattice, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

APPLE PIE WITH WALNUT STREUSEL



Apple Pie with Walnut Streusel image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 (10-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
4 pounds mixed Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Empire apples (about 8 medium)

Steps:

  • Make the pastry dough: In a large bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse together flour, sugar, salt, and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and toss with a fork or pulse until incorporated. Add enough remaining ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing or pulsing to incorporate, until mixture begins to form a dough. On a work surface smear dough in 3 or 4 forward motions with heel of hand to slightly develop gluten in flour and make dough easier to work with. Form dough into a ball and flatten to form a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl with your fingertips blend butter, brown sugar, and flour until smooth and blend in nuts. Chill topping, covered.
  • Make the filling: Peel and core apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch wedges and in a bowl toss with remaining filling ingredients to coat.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out dough into a 15-inch round (about 1/8-inch thick) and fold into quarters for ease of handling. Unfold dough in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet or 10-inch deep-dish (1 1/2-quart) pie plate, easing to fit and letting dough overhang rim of skillet or pie plate. Spoon filling into shell and fold pastry overhang over filling, leaving center uncovered. Bake pie in middle of oven for 1 hour (pie will not be completely cooked) and remove from oven.
  • Crumble topping over center of pie, breaking up any large chunks. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake pie in middle of oven 30 minutes more, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cool pie on a rack. Serve pie warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

Tips

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex and interesting flavor.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate. This will prevent the pie from overflowing.
  • Roll out the pie dough thinly. This will help it to cook evenly.
  • Trim the edges of the pie dough. This will help to create a clean and professional look.
  • Brush the edges of the pie dough with milk. This will help to brown them.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue to bake the pie until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion

Walnut apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and beautiful pie that will impress your family and friends.
