Categories     Dessert     Pie

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 frozen pie crust ((or homemade) )
1 cup flour
½ cup brown sugar (packed )
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter (chilled and cubed)
8 Granny Smith apples
⅓ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest ((optional))
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Combine all topping ingredients using a fork until completely mixed and crumbly.
  • Peel, core, and slice apples into thin slices (approximately ⅛ inch). Toss apple slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), cinnamon, & nutmeg.
  • Layer apple slices in pie shell (it will be really full) and pour any leftover juice over the apples. Top apple slices with topping and pat it down over the apples. Place pie pan on a cookie sheet (they tend to drip over if really full, this will save your oven).
  • Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350°F and bake an additional 45-55 minutes. (Poke the center of the pie to make sure the apples are soft all of the way through).
  • Serve warm or room temperature.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 11h45m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 pounds apples (see cook's note), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (8 cups)
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground cloves
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisée (1 disk)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

Steps:

  • For the Filling: In a large heatproof bowl, toss together apples, granulated sugar (use 1 cup if your apples are very tart), salt, vinegar, and spices. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours, or refrigerate (covered) up to 24 hours.
  • Stir flour into macerated apple mixture, then set a colander over another bowl and drain, reserving liquid. Transfer liquid to a small saucepan; return apples to bowl. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened to the consistency of loose pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir back into apple mixture.
  • For the Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F, with a rack in bottom third. On a lightly floured surface, roll out disk of dough 1/8 inch thick (about 13 inches in diameter). Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim overhang to 1 inch, fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Brush edges of crust with egg and fill with apple mixture; refrigerate for 15 minutes (to help crust hold its shape in the oven).
  • For the Topping: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and oats and beat to combine.
  • Crumble topping over filling and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake until golden brown all over and bubbling in center, 50 to 60 minutes more. (If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, at least 6 hours.

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 recipe Our Favorite Pie Crust
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 pounds Granny Smith apples (8 to 10)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Work with fingers until large clumps form; freeze.
  • On a lightly floured piece of wax paper or parchment paper, roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Carefully fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, gently lowering dough into bottom and sides of pie plate without stretching (you will have a 2-inch overhang all around). Refrigerate.
  • Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and slice apples 1/8 inch thick, transferring them to the bowl as you work. Add granulated sugar, raisins, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup flour, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Transfer apple mixture to pie crust, pressing in firmly. Fold dough overhang over filling, pleating it as you work your way around pie; press dough firmly against filling.
  • Bake 45 minutes, then sprinkle apple filling with crumb topping. Continue to bake until golden and bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes more. Cool at least 6 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly so that they cook evenly.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to the apples to prevent them from browning.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar and white sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the crumb topping to balance out the sweetness.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes to create a golden brown crust.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue baking until the filling is bubbling and the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving so that the filling has time to set.
