THE FOLDED PIZZA PIE APPLE DOUGHBOY WITH CINNAMON GLAZE

Steps:

• For the dough: Stir together yeast, 1 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar to a stainless steel bowl. Whisk together and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add flour, oil, salt, remaining 1/2 cup water, 2 teaspoons sugar and yeast mixture to a stand mixer and stir to incorporate. Mix together on medium speed until all ingredients have been mixed well, 5 to 8 minutes. Portion dough into four 1-pound pieces and place in 4 freezer bags. Freeze immediately to stop the rising process. Dough is ready to use after 30 minutes in freezer. Thaw fully before using.
• For the apple filling: Melt 7 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart pot. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring mixture frequently to avoid scorching, until al dente.
• Meanwhile, make a roux by melting remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Once butter is melted, add flour. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
• Add roux to apple mixture, little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. Transfer apples to a cookie sheet to cool.
• For the cinnamon glaze: Place candy in a saucepan and enough water to cover. Let stand until candy has mostly dissolved, then heat mixture to a medium boil, stirring frequently. Cook until a thin syrup-like texture is achieved, about 15 minutes. (Candy mixture is extremely hot and can cause severe burns! Handle with care! If mixture is too thin, cook a little longer; if mixture is too thick, add a little more water.) Let cool and pour into a squeeze bottle.
• For the doughboy: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roll a 5- to 6-ounce ball of thawed dough into a 4-inch square. Place 2 tablespoons apple filling in center of dough. Stretch opposite sides of dough up and pinch to seal until a rectangular "apple pillow" is made. Brush with butter, dust with cinnamon sugar and bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes, Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream; drizzle cinnamon glaze over doughboy and ice cream. Then, enjoy!

APPLE PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Let stand. In the food processor, combine flour, salt and pulse. Add the yeast mixture, cold water, vanilla and butter. Pulse until a ball is formed. Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead until dough is smooth. Allow dough to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough in half and form 2 balls. Place dough in separate bowls, cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, then store in the refrigerator 2 hours to overnight.
• For cheese mixture: Combine cheeses, sugar and Calvados in a bowl. Let rest.
• For apples: In a food processor pulse butter, flour, brown sugar, and pecans into coarse crumbs. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened. Flame Calvados. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt let cool.
• For crumb topping: In a food processor pulse butter, flour, brown sugar and pecans into coarse crumbs. Cook in a non-stick saute pan for 1 minute. Let cool.
• Assembly: Spread each dough to form a 10-inch circle. On each dough circle spread half of the cheese mixture. Top with half of the apples, and sauce. Sprinkle half crumb mixture, and bake at 475 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream and dust with cinnamon sugar.

APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Lightly flour a large piece of waxed paper; place a disk of dough in center. Rolling from center outward, form into a 12-inch circle. (Use paper to rotate dough, and flour rolling pin and paper as necessary to prevent sticking.) Transfer dough (still on paper) to a baking sheet; cover and refrigerate. Repeat with second disk of dough.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in lowest position. Remove first circle of dough from refrigerator; wrap around rolling pin (discarding paper), and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently lift edges and lower dough into the pie plate so it hugs bottom and sides. Avoid stretching the dough, which will make it shrink during baking. Refrigerate.
• Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and cut apples into 1/4-inch-thick slices; halve crosswise, and add to lemon juice (to keep them from turning brown) as you work. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine.
• Remove dough-lined pie plate from refrigerator. Fill with apple mixture, gently packing apples and mounding slightly in center; dot with butter. Lightly brush rim of pie shell with water. Remove remaining circle of dough from refrigerator. Lay over apples; press along moistened rim to seal. Using kitchen shears, trim overhang to 1 inch.
• With floured fingers, fold overhang under itself to form a thick rim; pinch between thumb and forefinger to form a uniform edge around the rim of the pie plate.
• To crimp edges: With thumb and index finger of one hand, gently press dough against knuckle of other hand; continue around pie. (Deep indentations anchor dough on rim and prevent it from sliding down sides of pie plate during baking.)
• With a floured paring knife, cut 5 to 6 slits in top of pie, radiating from center; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes more. If edges brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Cool completely, at least 6 hours, before serving.
