BERRY APPLE-BUTTER PIE



Berry Apple-Butter Pie image

The deliciously tart apple butter filling in this pie has a deep rosy color, bolstered by raspberries and blackberries. Apples with darker red skins will produce a filling that contrasts beautifully with the decorative golden brown crust: We opted to top the pie with triangle cutouts, but you could use any shape, or even substitute a woven lattice. You can make the apple butter up to 5 days ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container, but the pie itself is best the day it is made. Store leftovers at room temperature, tightly covered with plastic wrap.

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 to 10 medium red-skinned apples (about 4 pounds/1.8 kilograms), such as Rome, Jonathan, McIntosh, Gala, Cortland or Zestar, cored and diced
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
½ cup/120 milliliters apple cider
6 ounces/170 grams raspberries
6 ounces/170 grams blackberries
Perfect Pie Crust, doubled, prepared for a fruit pie and chilled
1 large egg
Egg wash (1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water), for finishing
Turbinado sugar, for finishing

Steps:

  • Make the apple butter: In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the apples, sugar, ginger, cider vinegar and apple cider. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften and break down, 25 to 30 minutes, reducing the heat as necessary to prevent scorching.
  • Add the raspberries and blackberries and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to prevent scorching, then turn off the heat. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to break the mixture down to a coarse purée, being careful not to turn it into a paste.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, 15 to 20 minutes; the apple butter is ready when you can dip a spoon into the pot and lift it out without any of the mixture dripping. You should have about 5 cups of apple butter. If you have too much, return it to the pot and continue to cook until you reduce it to 5 cups. Cool completely.
  • On a lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out a disk of dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick. Starting at one end, gently roll up the dough onto the rolling pin. Unfurl the dough over a 9-inch pie plate, preferably ceramic, and press it in lightly, making sure it's lining the plate.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg into the cooled apple butter until well combined. Pour into the prepared crust and smooth into an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust, about 15 minutes.
  • Roll out second disk of dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut out triangles with 1-inch sides, or other similarly sized shapes, from the middle portion of the crust, leaving a 3-inch border. (You don't want cutouts on the portion you're going to crimp.) You can use a cutter, trace from a paper stencil or cut the shapes freehand with a paring knife. Place the cutouts at least ¾ inch apart. Remove and discard the cutouts, or egg wash them and use the same day to decorate another pie.
  • Remove the pie from the refrigerator. Starting at one end of the top crust, gently roll up the crust onto the rolling pin. Gently unfurl the top crust onto the pie, aiming the portion with cutouts over the center of the pie. Trim away any excess crust with scissors, leaving ½ inch all the way around the outside rim of the pie plate. Pinch the edges together to seal, tuck them under, and crimp as desired. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • While the crust chills, place a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven, and place a baking stone, if you have one, on the rack. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Transfer the pie to the baking sheet, and egg wash the top crust. (Don't egg wash the crimped edges; they'll brown on their own.)
  • Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and transfer the baking sheet to the oven, placing it directly on the baking stone if using. Bake until the top crust is evenly golden brown and the filling has puffed up slightly, 40 to 45 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool pie on a rack at least 40 minutes before slicing and serving. The pie is best the day it is baked; store leftovers at room temperature covered tightly with plastic wrap.

APPLE-BERRY TWIST PIE



Apple-Berry Twist Pie image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
2 pounds assorted apples (such as Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp)
8 ounces thawed frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, blackberries and/or raspberries; about 2 cups)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Pinch of salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add 2 tablespoons butter; pulse a few times until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the cream cheese; pulse a few more times until the dough just comes together. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon ice water; pulse a few times until the dough is moist. Divide the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap. Shape each into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel the apples and slice about 1/4 inch thick; toss with the berries, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla, butter and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself. Add the filling. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into an 8-inch round on a lightly floured surface; slice into 12 strips. Brush the strips with some of the beaten egg. One at a time, twist the strips of dough and, working from the center of the pie outward, arrange the strips on the pie to make one continuous coil.
  • Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 55 more minutes. (Tent with foil if the crust browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c sugar
4 tsp quick cooking tapioca
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 c fresh blackberries
2 c sliced, peeled apples
2 Tbsp butter, cut up
pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the pastry and divide in half. Form each half into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball of the pastry into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled-out pastry into a 9-inch pie plate.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Add the blackberries and apple slices. Toss gently until coated. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • 3. Spoon the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Trim pastry even with edge of the pie plate. Moisten the edge of the pastry with water.
  • 4. Roll out the remaining pastry as before. Cut slits in the pastry to let steam escape. Place pastry on the filling. Trim the top crust to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top pastry and crimp edge. Cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over-browning.
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to eat the pie and will also help to prevent the apples from browning.
  • Add some sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apples before baking. This will help to sweeten and flavor the apples.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you are using a pre-made pie crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk before baking. This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
