Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a flaky crust, sweet apples, and a variety of spices. This recipe infuses bourbon into the apples, giving them a delicious and unique flavor. The bourbon also helps to tenderize the apples, making them melt in your mouth.

This recipe also includes instructions for making a homemade pie crust. If you don't have time to make your own crust, you can use a store-bought one. However, making your own crust is definitely worth the extra effort. It is much flakier and tastier than a store-bought crust.

Once you have made the crust and the apples, it is time to assemble the pie. Simply place the apples in the pie crust and top with the remaining crust. Crimp the edges of the crust together and bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.

This recipe also includes instructions for making a bourbon caramel sauce. This sauce is perfect for drizzling over the pie or serving it on the side. It is also great for dipping apple slices in.

Whether you are a fan of apple pie or bourbon, you are sure to love this recipe. It is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon bourbon
8 to 10 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
4 pounds assorted apples (such as McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Granny Smith and/or Golden Delicious)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon bourbon
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the bourbon and pulse until just incorporated. Pulse in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together when pinched. Turn out the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap and gather together, using the plastic wrap to help you. Divide into 2 pieces and gently pat each into a disk; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Make the filling: Peel the apples and slice about ¼ inch thick. Toss with the lemon juice and ¼ cup bourbon. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the apples and sprinkle with half of the granulated sugar. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the apples soften, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 more tablespoons butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining apples and sugar. Add to the bowl and toss with the cinnamon and ginger. Let cool completely.
  • Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Spoon the apple filling into the prepared pie crust. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon and dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Lay the dough round over the filling. Pinch the overhanging dough together and fold under itself; crimp the edge with your fingers. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Put a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 400 degrees F. Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until the crust is golden, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to eat the pie and will also help to prevent the apples from browning.
  • Toss the apples with sugar, flour, and spices before adding them to the pie crust. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • Dot the top of the pie with butter before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • 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 crispy crust and a tender filling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and will make it easier to slice.
