Pueblo pie is a Native American dish consisting of a meat or vegetable filling topped with a layer of bread dough and baked in a deep dish. With variations found across the Puebloan peoples of the Southwestern United States, the dish has a rich culinary and cultural history. Popular fillings include seasoned ground beef, pork, or lamb, often combined with vegetables like corn, beans, and chiles, creating a hearty and flavorful base. The bread dough topping, typically made with wheat flour, baking powder, and salt, adds a golden-brown crust that contrasts the tender filling. This article presents three Pueblo pie recipes: a classic beef and corn pie, a vegetarian version featuring black beans and roasted red peppers, and a unique green chile chicken pie. Each recipe is detailed with step-by-step instructions, ingredient lists, and cooking times, ensuring successful preparation for home cooks of all skill levels. Discover the diverse flavors and textures of Pueblo pie through these authentic and delectable recipes.

DEEP DISH PUEBLO PIE
I like this recipe because it has just about everything I love in it. It came from a time when I was a vegetarian and wanted something different for dinner. This recipe can be made in a round crock pot as well as the oven. You can substitute light sour cream for regular and less fat cheese for regular cheese.

DEEP-DISH APPLE PIE
If you're going to the trouble of making a pie, why not make it a blockbuster? This pie, adapted from the professional pie coach Kate McDermott, is both deeper and wider than the traditional nine-inch version. The thicker rim is especially satisfying, like a buttery, crumbly slab of shortbread. You can use a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan, or a deep nine- or 10-inch square, or another 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish of your choice. A mix of apple types always makes the best filling.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor or stand mixer, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and pulse (or mix at medium-low speed) until the pieces are coated with flour. Add 1/2 cup ice water and mix until incorporated. Keep dribbling in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together into a lump. It should be moist, but not sticky. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. (If dough feels wet, use a little extra flour.) Press the dough together, turning over a few times, until smooth and solid.
- Shape into 2 disks, using about 1/3 of the dough for the top crust and the remaining 2/3 for the bottom crust. Wrap separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- On a lightly floured surface or nonstick baking mat, roll out the larger disk to about 1/4-inch thickness. The size and shape will depend on your dish. Use the crust to line a large 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish, like a 10-inch round or 9-inch square, at least 2 inches deep. Refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice or vinegar, 1 tablespoon Calvados and flour. Toss together until the apples are roughly coated with what looks like wet sand. If filling is dry, add the remaining tablespoon of Calvados. Pour into the pie crust, mounding above the rim, and dot with butter. (If necessary, add more apple pieces to the top. Don't worry about mixing them in.)
- Roll out remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness (or a bit less) and lay it gently over the fruit. Trim any excess and fold the edges into a thick rim. Crimp, if desired.
- Whisk the egg thoroughly with 1 tablespoon cold water. Brush over the entire top crust, including the edges. Cut 5 or 6 vents on top. Refrigerate pie while the oven heats.
- Place a baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Place pie on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake another 25 minutes.
- Open the oven and carefully sprinkle the sugar over the surface of the pie. Bake about 10 minutes longer. Look for steam and bubbling juices coming out of the vents, and a well-browned crust, before removing the pie from the oven.
- Let cool at least 1 hour before serving.

DEEP-DISH APPLE PIE WITH CRUMBLE TOPPING
I got this recipe from lots of different sources. I couldn't find one I liked. So took what I liked and added my own spin and this is what came out. I love this recipe, because it has all the flavors of fall. A little trick I learned from my grandmother: use different types of apples for the best flavor. I use Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Golden Delicious, but you can use whatever you like. I serve it as is, but encourage the use of ice cream, whipped cream, or whatever addition the occasion calls for.

Tips:
- Prepare the crust in advance: Making the pie crust ahead of time allows it to rest and develop flavor, resulting in a flakier crust. This can be done up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your pie. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, and high-quality cheese. Fresh herbs, such as oregano and thyme, add a burst of flavor to the pie.
- Don't overfill the pie: Overfilling the pie can cause the crust to become soggy and the filling to overflow. Fill the pie no more than ⅔ full.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven: A preheated oven ensures that the pie cooks evenly and prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
- Let the pie cool before slicing: Allowing the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing helps the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
Conclusion:
Deep-dish Pueblo pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its flaky crust, savory filling, and melted cheese, it's a perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you're using a traditional recipe or experimenting with different ingredients, you're sure to create a pie that everyone will love.
