Glazed Apple Pie Squares image

Provided by Brandie @ The Country Cook

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 refrigerator pie crusts
9 cups Granny Smith apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Leave the pie crusts out to come to room temperature per the directions on the box. Place two of the pie crusts on top of each other on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to a rough rectangle that is 18x12 inches.
  • Using a 10x15x1-inch jelly roll pan, place the crust in the pan, forming it in the pan with the excess crust overlapping the sides. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Stir together until fully combined.
  • Spoon the apples evenly onto the crust.
  • Again, roll out the last two pie crusts into an 18x12 rectangle. Place them on top of the pan.
  • Tuck the top crust under the bottom and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust so air can escape.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, tenting with foil after the first 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown. If you think it needs more browning after 35 minutes, take the foil off and watch closely until your desired color is reached.
  • Place on a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
  • While the pie is cooling, place the milk in a small saucepan and place it on the stove over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally, at the very first sign of any bubbling, take it off the what, and whisk in the butter. Let it cool to room temperature and then whisk in the powdered sugar.
  • After the pie has cooled for 1 hour, brush it all over with the glaze with a pastry brush. Wait 30 minutes, brush another layer of glaze on. Let cool for 30 more minutes, slice and serve.

GLAZED FLAT APPLE PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Glazed Flat Apple Pie Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 23

CRUST:
3 3 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1 1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 1 1/3 1/3 cup shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco)
1 1 1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1 1 tablespoon vinegar
3 3 3 tablespoons cold water
to sugar (optional, to sprinkle on the crust for "crunch")
APPLE PIE:
8 to 10 8 to 10 10 cups sliced apples (I used Jonagolds, Gravensteins and Granny Smith)
1 1 1 cup sugar
1 1 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 1/8 1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/2 1/2 lemon
3 3 3 tablespoons Instant ClearJel (purchased online at King Arthur Flour) OR
2 2 2 tablespoons flour
2 2 2 tablespoons boiled apple cider, OPTIONAL (purchased online at King Arthur Flour)
3 3 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed into small pieces
GLAZE:
1/2 1/2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 1 to 2 2 teaspoons water
Whisk the water into the sugar until all lumps are gone, and it is a thick, drizzling consistency

Steps:

  • CRUST (NOTE: I use my food processor): In the food processor, with the blade attachment, and combine the flour and salt. Add the shortening, and pulse until the dough is crumbly and sticks together. Add the egg and vinegar and pulse until the dough is just combined. If using a pastry cutter: Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until dough is crumbly and the size of small peas. Combine egg, water and vinegar and add to flour mixture. Mix with a fork until dough stick together. Divide the dough in half, and heap onto plastic wrap. Shape the dough into a disc and refrigerate. This can be done a day or two ahead, or even frozen for a couple of weeks. Roll out on well-floured board to desired thickness and ease into pie pan. NOTES: I find that this pie crust can be more challenging to work with, because of the egg. It tends to break apart, and needs "patching". It can be a little frustrating, but it's worth it. The end result is that the crust is very tender. Yes, you can make this pie in a traditional pie pan. The flat apple pie makes this easier to serve to larger crowds, and is easier to work with the dough. PIE FILLING: Peel, core and slice the apples (I bought an apple, corer and peeler and love how fast and easy it is to do this.) Mix the ClearJel (or flour) to the sugar and whisk together and pour over the apples. Add the spices, then the lemon juice and stir to combine. Using a half-sheet baking pan, spray with non-stick coating. Place the bottom half of the pie crust, leaving at least a 1/3" overhang. Evenly spread the apple filling and dot with small pats of butter. Roll the second crust and carefully place over the pie. Cut slots for steam with a paring knife. OPTIONAL: I like to whisk one egg with a splash of water and brush it over the top layer of the pie crust, so it will bake a beautiful golden brown. Then, I sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a crunchy texture. Place the pie on a large baking sheet (I placed mine on a baking stone) and bake at 375°F for 30 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and the apples are bubbly and caramelized. TO GLAZE THE PIE: I like to balance a cooling rack of my kitchen sink. Mix the glaze, and then spoon over the hot pie. You can also add chopped walnut pieces, but my family doesn't like nuts, so I didn't. I'll bet that's delicious!

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 lbs granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 1/4 lbs golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and sliced (To make a 9 inch apple pie, use 6-8 medium apples. )
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 2/3 cups apple cider, reduced (see * below)
1 -1 1/2 cup golden raisin, seedless raisins. soak in
1/3 cup apple cider (about 4 hours or overnight mix untill raisins are plunp. or Combine raisins and cider in a small mic)
2 2/3 cups apple cider (*reduced to about 2/3 cup)

Steps:

  • TIP:( Use your favorite baking apples a combination of Granny Smiths (for their tart flavor and crisp texture) and Cortlands (for their sweetness and softer texture) is nice. Northern Spies or Ginger Golds are wonderful, if you can get them. ).
  • For the filling*: Bring the apple cider to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat about 20 minutes, until reduced to about 2/3 cup.
  • For Crust:.
  • Combine the flour, salt and sugar, cinnamon in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture. With the machine running, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until clumps form. Mold the dough into two balls, shape into disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a 13-inch round. Roll it up on the rolling pin and unroll it on the top of the pie. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch rim of dough. Fold that under and crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork. Slit the top crust with a knife a few times to let the steam escape. Or you can use a refigerated pie crust mix from the store.
  • This pie crust is a lot easier to roll after it has chilled for two hours. It then absorbs less flour when rolled. The lemon juice will tenderize the gluten while baking--there is no need for any special precaution in rolling. The large circle of dough can be easily manipulated into the pan by first folding it in four, and then unfolding right in the pan, where the pan provides support. Your recipe directs the filling to be cooked and added to the rolled dough without saying anything about any cooling time. Using a hot filling makes the pastry get soggy in the oven.
  • For the filling: Ingredients:.

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar.
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons milk.
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • 1 teaspoon butter.
  • Directions:.
  • 1. Melt the butter and add to rest of ingredients. Mix until creamy.
  • I found the glaze a too thick- albeit pretty- when I added the minimal amount of milk. After switching it to tablespoons, it turned out a nice glaze consistency. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon and poured it over pie.
  • NOTE: Golden Delicious apples ARE Not related to Red Delicious, they are Best for snacking and in salads. They are poor as a baking apples.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Select firm, tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. They hold their shape well during baking.
  • Slice Apples Thinly: Thinly sliced apples cook evenly and create a more delicate texture in the pie.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with apple slices. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice helps to prevent the apples from browning and adds a bright flavor to the pie.
  • Make a Roux: A roux made from butter and flour helps to thicken the glaze and give it a glossy finish.
  • Don't Overcook the Glaze: Cook the glaze until it has thickened slightly, but don't let it boil. Overcooking will make the glaze too thick and syrupy.
  • Let the Pie Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the glaze to set and the filling to firm up.
