GRANDMA'S APPLESAUCE PIE



Grandma's Applesauce Pie image

This is one of the recipes I remember most from my childhood. My grandmother always had this on hand for her grandkids who came to visit. It was invented especially for us kids because it had no "chunks" of apple in it. There was no surprise that the adults loved this pie, just as much as we did.

Provided by Sydney Mike

Categories     Pie

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pie pastry, 9-inch deep dish
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chunky applesauce
1 cup pumpkin puree, canned

Steps:

  • Invert the pastry over a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, center it & gently tuck the pastry into the pan without stretching it, then sculpt the edge into an upstanding ridge.
  • Place the pie shell in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to prebake it, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil at least 15 inches long, carefully press it into the pastry until it fits like a second skin, & then arrange the excess foil on either side so that it points out like a pair of wings ~ Bunching it up underneath will deflect the heat, which you don't want to do! Fill the foil with about 1 1/2 pounds of dried beans, pushing them up the sides a little to keep the pastry snug against the pan.
  • Bake the shell on the center rack for 20 minutes, then remove it from the oven, & with hands protected, grasp the foil on either side & slowly lift the beans out of the shell.
  • Use a fork to poke the bottom of the pastry 4 or 6 times, twisting the fork slightly to enlarge the holes, so that steam can escape & help prevent the pastry from puffing up.
  • Put the pie shell back in the oven & bake for another 7 to 8 minutes, then let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes, while making the filling. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy & blended, then whisk in the maple syrup & vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, salt & spices, then whisk this into the egg mixture.
  • Whisk in the applesauce & pumpkin, blending until smooth, then ladle the filling into the partially baked crust.
  • Place the pie on the center oven rack & bake 50 to 55 minutes. To check the pie for doneness, give the pan a quick little shake ~ The filling should not waver but should appear set in the middle. The sides might have puffed & have a flat finish while the center will be more glossy, indicating that the pie is ready to be taken from the oven & set on a wire rack to cool. Although it is very good warm, the apple flavor is more pronounced when the pie is cold.
  • If served cold, refrigerate the pie loosely covered with a sheet of waxed paper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • 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.
  • Don't overcook your apples. You want them to be soft, but not mushy. About 10-15 minutes on the stovetop is usually sufficient.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pie. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edge of the crust so that the filling doesn't spill over.
  • Bake your pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a golden brown crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the filling is bubbling and the crust is cooked through.
  • Let your pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

Applesauce pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tangy flavor, applesauce pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
