APPLE PIE



Apple Pie image

In 2013, at least, one of the great pie makers in New York City was Kierin Baldwin, the pastry chef at The Dutch in the SoHo neighborhood. This recipe is adapted from hers, for a plain apple pie. It benefits from heeding her advice to pre-cook the filling before baking. "Apple pies that have crunchy, raw apples in them are a pet peeve of mine," Ms. Baldwin said. Peel and core the fruit, cut it into slices, then macerate them in a plume of sugar. Cook these soft with a splash of acid (like lemon juice or cider vinegar) and a hint of cinnamon and allspice, then add some starch to thicken the whole. Allow the mixture to cool completely before using it in the pie. (For everything you need to know to make the perfect pie crust, visit our pie guide.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds apples, peeled and cored, then cut into wedges (5 large honeycrisps will do it)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 recipe all-purpose pie dough
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat and add apples to the pan. Stir to coat fruit with butter and cook, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk together the spices, salt and 3/4 cup sugar, and sprinkle this over the pan, stirring to combine. Lower heat and cook until apples have started to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and cornstarch over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add cider vinegar, stir and scrape fruit mixture into a bowl and allow to cool completely. (The fruit mixture will cool faster if spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.)
  • Place a large baking sheet on the middle rack of oven and preheat to 425. Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and, using a pin, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 12 inches in diameter. Fit this crust into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming it to leave a .5-inch overhang. Place this plate, with the dough, in the freezer.
  • Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 10 or 11 inches in diameter.
  • Remove pie crust from freezer and put the cooled pie filling into it. Cover with remaining dough. Press the edges together, trim the excess, then crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Using a sharp knife, cut three or four steam vents in the top of the crust. Lightly brush the top of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
  • Place pie in oven and bake on hot baking sheet for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375. Continue to cook until the interior is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove and allow to cool on a windowsill or kitchen rack, about two hours.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps to keep the crust flaky.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for a few minutes before adding the filling.
  • When adding the filling, be sure to leave some space around the edges of the crust. This will allow the crust to rise and prevent it from becoming too thick.
  • Brush the crust with milk or cream before baking. This will help it to brown and give it a shiny finish.
  • Serve the apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and classic flavor, this All-Star Apple Pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. Follow these tips to make sure your pie turns out perfect every time. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results.
