PRIZE-WINNING APPLE PIE



Prize-Winning Apple Pie image

I've baked many apple pies in the last 40 years. But when I entered this apple pie at the 1987 Kansas State Fair, it won first prize! The prize was especially meaningful, because the contest was sponsored by the Kansas Mother's Assn., and of the 31 pies entered, mine was the one that was presented to the Kansas Mother of the Year.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 16

CRUST:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 to 5 tablespoons milk
FILLING:
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash salt
4-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Measure flour, salt and baking powder into large bowl; mix well. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles small peas. Sprinkle in oil then milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork after each addition. When it's thoroughly mixed, press dough firmly together with hands as you would a snowball. Divide dough into two balls. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured pastry cloth. Put bottom crust into 9-in. pie pan; set aside. , Prepare filling by stirring together the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt; mix with apples and water. Turn into pastry-lined pan; dot with butter. Cover with top crust; seal and flute. Slit steam vents in top crust. Cover edge with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. , Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer.

PERFECT APPLE PIE



Perfect Apple Pie image

With a crisp, flaky crust and thick, cider-flavored apple filling, this is my idea of the perfect apple pie.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled with a knife
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
14 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, sliced into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup cold vegetable shortening, in 4 pieces
7 tablespoons ice cold water
3½ pounds baking apples (see note), peeled, cored, sliced ¼-inch thick
1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, from 1 lemon
½ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
Heaping ¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
A beaten egg, cream, or milk, for brushing over crust
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for topping the pie

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the pieces of butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture is crumbly with lots of pea and chickpea-size clumps of butter and shortening within.
  • Add the water and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and very crumbly. Dump the dough crumbles onto a work surface and divide into two piles, with one pile about 15% bigger than the other (13 oz and 11.5 oz). Make two balls of dough and pat each one into a 5-inch disc. Wrap the discs in plastic and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
  • Take the larger disc of dough out of the refrigerator. Dust your work surface lightly with flour and place the dough on top; sprinkle a little flour over the dough. Use your hands to quickly knead the dough into a soft and malleable disc (don't overwork it; you want it just supple enough to roll).
  • Roll the dough, adding more flour as necessary under and on top of the dough so it doesn't stick, into a 13-in circle. Carefully drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-in deep-dish pie pan (it should be at least 1½ in deep). Gently fit the dough into the pan, easing it inwards rather than stretching it outwards. Trim the edges to ½ inch beyond the lip of the pie pan. Turn the edges under to create a rim on the crust. Press the rim against the lip of the pan, forming it into an even edge. Use any scraps to patch in any tears or thin areas. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you heat the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and place on a baking sheet (this makes it easy to move in and out of the oven). Cover the crust with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Take the crust out of the oven; remove the parchment paper and beans/pie weights and tent the edges with a few strips of aluminum foil. (The foil will protect the edges from getting too dark.) Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the dough is dry and golden. Don't worry if the bottom puffs up; just press it down gently with a flat spatula, such as a pancake turner, taking care not to puncture it. Let the crust cool to room temperature.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
  • Meanwhile, combine the apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Toss until the sugar is dissolved and the apples are evenly coated. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • Drain the apples, collecting the syrupy juice in another bowl. Pour the syrupy juice into a 2-cup microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Take note of the quantity and then heat on high power in the microwave, checking frequently, until the syrup is reduced by half. This will take about 4 minutes but keep a close eye on it as all microwaves are different. You don't want to cook it for too long, or it will turn into sticky caramel (see note below on how to correct this if it happens). The syrup should be just slightly thickened and still pourable. (Alternatively, you can boil the juices in a small pan on the stove.)
  • Add the syrup back to the apples, along with the flour and cornstarch; toss to combine.
  • Take the other piece of dough out of the fridge and roll into an 11-inch circle, using the same process described above. If necessary, use a little dough to patch up any holes in the bottom crust. Add the apple filling to the baked pie shell, compacting the apples as tightly as possible. (Too many air pockets will cause the crust to dome, creating a gap between the apples and the crust.) Place the rolled dough over top. Crimp the edges with a fork or flute with your fingers, sealing the top and bottom crust together. Work quickly, dusting your fingers with flour as necessary, so the dough doesn't get too warm.
  • Brush the top crust with the beaten egg (or cream or milk). Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top crust. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow the steam to escape.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before cutting, about 4 hours.
  • Note: Be sure to use baking apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji, Granny Smith, or Golden Delicious. And use a mix of different varietals for the best flavor.
  • Note: If you accidentally over-reduce the syrup and it seizes up when you pour it over the apples, transfer the apple mixture to a large sauté pan and cook over high heat until the caramel melts. Let cool completely in the fridge before proceeding with the recipe.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months before or after baking it. (If freezing it unbaked, hold off on brushing the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkling it with sugar; you can do that right before baking.) If baked, let it cool completely and place it in the freezer uncovered. When fully frozen, wrap the pie securely in foil and freeze. If the pie is unbaked, wrap it securely in foil and freeze. When ready to serve, proceed with baking instructions above (pie is likely to take a bit longer in the oven).

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLE PIE



The Best Homemade Apple Pie image

This classic apple pie recipe is a favorite dessert for Thanksgiving. It has the perfect homemade apple pie filling and flaky crust!

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter (cold and cubed)
½ cup ice water (more or less as needed)
2 ½ pounds Granny Smith Apples (about 5-7 apples; cored, peeled, and cut into pieces)
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg (beaten)
1 Tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined.
  • Add in cubed butter and break up into flour with a fork. This mixture will still have small lumps - that's perfectly fine.
  • Slowly pour in the ice water and continue to mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together (you might find it helpful to just use your hands to help the dough come together at this point). You may not use all of the water, but if the dough feels dry then add more. The dough should not be sticky.
  • Work the dough into a ball shape and wrap in plastic wrap. Place dough in the fridge for about an hour.
  • While the dough is chilling, peel, core and cut the apples into small pieces (you can do slices or cubes - whatever you prefer). Add all the cut apples into a bowl along with sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and lemon juice. Mix together until all the apples are coated, then set bowl aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Lightly dust a surface with flour. Remove the dough from the fridge and the plastic wrap and set on the floured surface. Cut the dough ball in half. Roll each half out in a circle that is about 1/8" thick.
  • Place one of the rolled out circles of dough into a 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Make sure that the dough covers the entire pan (trim off any overhang if necessary).
  • Add the pie filling to the pie crust.
  • Place the other half of the pie dough on top of the apple filling.
  • Trim the extra dough off the edges and pinch the pie dough edges together to make a "crimp" or wave pattern around the edge of the pie. You will want to make sure that all the edges are tightly sealed so that your apple filling doesn't escape while baking!
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the top pie crust and edges with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut at least 4 slits in the top of the pie (you can make any design you want).
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes in the preheated oven or until the crust is a golden brown color. Allow to cool and serve.
  • We love to top ours with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. Serves 8-10, depending on what size of slices you serve.

CLASSIC APPLE PIE



Classic Apple Pie image

In this very classic, cinnamon-scented pie, the apples are sautéed in butter before they're piled in the crust, ensuring that they're tender but not mushy. Use firm, crisp apples here, preferably all one kind so the slices cook evenly. Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Ginger Gold and Granny Smith apples are good options. (Honeycrisps will give you the sweetest pie, while Granny Smiths the most tart.) If using a glass or ceramic pie pan, consider parbaking the bottom crust. Glass doesn't conduct heat as well as metal, so the crust may not cook through if you don't parbake.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 1/2 pounds firm, crisp apples (see Tip), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges (about 11 cups)
1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or a little more if your apples are very sweet
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
Dough for a 9-inch double crust pie
Heavy cream, milk or a beaten egg, for glazing (optional)
Demerara sugar, for glazing (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat and add apples to the pan. Stir to coat with butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together sugars, spices and salt. Sprinkle over the apples and toss to combine.
  • Lower heat to medium and cook until apples have softened completely but still hold their shape, about 17 to 25 minutes. (Some varieties cook more quickly than others.)
  • Sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and stir in lemon juice and zest. Allow apples to cool completely (spreading them onto a rimmed baking sheet speeds this up). Apples can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a 9- or 10-inch metal pie plate, trimming it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang. Place crust in the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10- to 11-inch circle. Remove pie crust from freezer and add the cooled filling in an even layer. Cover apples with remaining dough. Press the edges together, trim the excess dough, and crimp the edges with your fingers or a press down with the tines of a fork. (Using a fork might be easier if the bottom crust is too cold to crimp.) Brush the top of the pie with cream, milk, or some beaten egg, then sprinkle lightly with sugar if you like. Using a sharp knife, cut some steam vents in the top of the crust.
  • Place pie on the hot sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling bubbles in the steam vents, and the crust is golden brown. Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. The pie can be baked up to 24 hours ahead of serving; do not refrigerate before serving.
