CRANBERRY-APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Categories     Food Processor     Bake     Thanksgiving     Cranberry     Apple     Fall     Cinnamon     Butter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For pastry dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening (trans-fat-free)
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For crumble topping:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
For fruit filling:
2 pounds Gala apples (about 5), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
8 ounces fresh or frozen (not thawed) cranberries
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Equipment: a 9 1/2-inch glass deep-dish pie plate (6-cup capacity)

Steps:

  • Make pastry:
  • Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle 3 tablespoon ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If dough doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together (using a pastry scraper if you have one) and form into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Make crumble topping:
  • Stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until large clumps form, then stir in pecans. Chill until ready to use.
  • Make fruit filling:
  • Stir together apples, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
  • Assemble pie:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under and crimp decoratively. Transfer fruit filling to pie shell and dot with butter. Loosely cover with foil and bake until apples droop slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Sprinkle crumble topping over filling and bake, uncovered, until crumble is browned, filling is bubbling, and apples are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.

APPLE CRANBERRY SLAB PIE



Apple Cranberry Slab Pie image

A slab pie is nothing more than a regular pie writ large. Baked in a 9-x-13-inch pan, this pie feeds 24 but is easier to make (and to carry) than 3 separate pies. The filling was inspired by an e-mail from Pete Wells, our restaurant critic, who mused about his ideal Thanksgiving dessert; the brown sugar, ginger and rum give it a complex and more autumnal flavor than most apple pies. Serve with whipped crème fraîche and small glasses of good, aged rum. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 18 to 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (450 grams)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt (6 grams)
3 sticks plus 6 tablespoons butter, preferably a high-fat, European-style butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (15 ounces/425 grams)
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water, more as needed
6 3/4 pounds apples, preferably a mixture of Gala, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick (21 cups/about 3 kilograms)
1 1/2 packed cups light brown sugar (300 grams)
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup dried cranberries (150 grams)
6 tablespoons instant tapioca (75 grams)
3 tablespoons dark rum
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (3 grams)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (18 grams)
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt (9 grams)
2 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon (6 grams)
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced small (1 ounce/28 grams)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons Demerara sugar (20 grams)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, briefly pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into two balls, one about 2/3 of dough and the other the remaining 1/3 of dough. Wrap each with plastic and flatten into disks. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days before rolling out and baking.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and remove the plastic wrap from the larger dough ball. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough ball to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, dusting with flour if dough sticks. (Leave smaller dough ball in the fridge.) Transfer rolled-out dough to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Carefully line the pan with dough, pressing it into bottom of pan and completely up the sides. Crimp the top edges. Chill dough in fridge until ready to fill.
  • Roll out remaining dough ball to a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, dusting with flour if dough is sticking. Using a decorative cookie cutter (like apples, leaves or hearts), cut out dough shapes. Reroll scraps if necessary to use up as much dough as possible. Transfer cutouts to a small baking sheet. Return baking pan and sheet to refrigerator to chill while you prepare filling.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange a wire rack in the lowest position in the oven. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the floor of the oven to preheat.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, maple syrup, cranberries, tapioca, rum, lemon zest and juice, ginger, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let mixture stand 10 minutes. Pour filling into bottom pie crust and dot with 2 tablespoons diced butter. Arrange dough cutouts on top of apple mixture, overlapping it slightly and making sure several cutout edges touch sides of pan. Whisk together egg and cream. Brush over crust; sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
  • Move rimmed baking sheet from oven floor to lowest rack. Place pie pan on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling thickly, 40 to 60 minutes longer. Loosely tent top of pie with foil if crust browns before filling is ready. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • For a flakier crust, use cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the crust with milk or egg wash.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

This cranberry-apple-nut pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tart cranberries, sweet apples, and crunchy nuts makes for a truly irresistible treat. With its flaky crust and gooey filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
