Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
15 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths (about 8 pounds)
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons Calvados
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Eggnog Cups
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small mixing bowl.
  • In skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 apples, 1/3 sugar mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Saute until apples are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, measure 2 tablespoons Calvados into cup, add to skillet; return to heat, and cook 3 minutes. Calvados may ignite; proceed with caution until alcohol burns off, about 30 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons cream; cook, stirring, until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Repeat step in two batches with remaining apples.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee 1/8 inch thick. Measure diameter of ovenproof bowl (we used a bowl eight inches wide and six inches deep), and roll dough out to extend sides by three inches all the way around. In center of dough, punch hole with number 4 plain pastry tip or 1/4 inch tip.
  • Place apple mixture in ovenproof bowl; drape rolled-out pastry on top, centering hole. Allow edge of pastry to overhang sides of bowl. Trim edges to create a scalloped edge. Decorate top with excess dough using cold water to adhere.
  • Mix egg yolk and remaining tablespoon cream; brush onto pie. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 50 to 55 minutes. When top becomes golden brown, loosely drape piece of foil over top to prevent further browning; continue to bake until pie bubbles. Cool on wire rack, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with cheddar if desired.

I would not recommend this recipe. The pie was bland and the crust was tough.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to my slice of pie. It was the perfect finishing touch.

I used Granny Smith apples for this pie, and they were perfect. They held their shape well and had a great tart flavor.

I've tried many apple pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of tart apples and sweet spices is perfect.
