Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1¼ cups vegetable shortening
7-12 Tablespoons ice-cold water
6 cups peeled and sliced apples
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 4 or 5 pieces)

Steps:

  • Place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 450°F.
  • To prepare pie crust, add flour, sugar, salt, and vegetable shortening to a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer. Gradually add ice-cold water until the dough binds together and can form a ball. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a large bowl and toss gently to combine.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 2 even sections. Roll out each piece of dough into a 10-11 inch diameter for a 9-inch pie.
  • Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the crusts. Transfer the apple filling to the pie crust.
  • Place top crust over the pie and crimp the edges together. Cut 4-5 vents into the top crust with a sharp knife and place a small piece of butter in each. Cover edges with foil or a pie crust protector to prevent over-browning.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F. Reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving with some No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired. Enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 to 15 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
2 Golden Delicious, Gala or Fuji apples (about 1 pound), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup sugar
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Steps:

  • Toss together the lemon juice, apple pie spice, apples and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat in a medium skillet. Add the apple mixture and stir to coat with the butter. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and translucent, about 20 minutes; if the mixture becomes too dry and begins to brown before that, add 1/4 cup water and continue to cook.
  • Mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and pour into the apple mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil to activate the starch and cook until the thick and bubbly, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl, whip the remaining 12 tablespoons butter and 2/3 cup sugar with a hand-held mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until just combined, then mix in the vanilla. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients in 2 additions, mixing just until incorporated.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of the dough for each cookie and roll into a ball. Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and press down into flat discs about 1/4 inch thick. Bake the cookies until just set on top but still pale, about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets.
  • When the cookies are cool, flip them over. On half of the cookies, spread each with 1 teaspoon apple filling. On the other half of the cookies, spread each with 1 tablespoon vanilla ice cream. Sandwich each apple filling-topped cookie with an ice cream-topped cookie and press together gently.
  • Serve immediately or store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let soften 5 minutes before serving from frozen.

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 8 pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 box ready-made pie crusts (recommended: Pillsbury)
Peanut oil, for frying
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream, for topping

Steps:

  • To a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, and the apples and saute until they are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle in the maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Continue cooking for 5 minutes more until the apples are completely softened. Remove them from the pan and allow them to cool while you prepare the dough.
  • Roll out both pieces of pie dough onto a floured surface. Cut out eight 6-inch circles and lay them out onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Put a heaping tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the center of each round Fold the circles in half and seal their edges with the tines of a fork.
  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Fry the pies, 3 at a time, in the hot peanut oil until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the finished pies to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Once they are cool, toss them in the cinnamon sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use a blend of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice your apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to your apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Don't overcook your apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. You can make your own or buy one from the store. If you're making your own, be sure to use a recipe that results in a flaky crust.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges.
  • Bake your pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let your pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will give the filling time to set.
  • Serve your pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is the classic way to enjoy apple pie.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It's the perfect way to end a meal or to enjoy as a snack. With these tips, you can make the best apple pie possible. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
