Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 to 40 butter crackers
One 9-inch frozen pie crust
1 cup crushed butter crackers
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Liquid drained from a 15.5-ounce can chickpeas
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring the sugars, cream of tartar and 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking thoroughly as the sugar dissolves. Add the butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and lemon juice and whisk until the butter is melted. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Put the crackers in a heatproof bowl and pour the syrup over the top. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into the pie shell.
  • For the topping: Mix the crushed crackers, brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the pie. Set the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is set, 18 to 20 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly.
  • For the faux whipped cream: Whip the chickpea liquid with an electric mixer until bubbles begin to form. Add the cream of tartar and continue to whip on high speed until peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the vanilla and continue whipping for another 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar while whipping an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Dollop slices of the pie with the faux whipped cream and serve immediately (see Cook's Note).

GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds short crust pastry, recipe follows
7 cups Royal Gala apples, cored and quartered (about 5 apples)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch salt
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces unsalted butter, cold
8 ounces shortening, cold
1/2 cup ice cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Roll 1/2 the short crust pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trim away the excess and crimp the edge.
  • Roll out the rest of the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. On a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper weave the strips of pastry into a lattice that will cover the top of a 9-inch pie plate with 1-inch of overhang. Refrigerate the pie shell and lattice for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the apple quarters into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the inside edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Arrange the apples in the pie shell and dab the top with pieces of cold butter. Slide the lattice top over the apples. Press the pastry of the lattice firmly on the crimped edge to seal the 2 together. Brush the lattice with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter and shortening into the flour. Combine the mixture with your fingers until it resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water and mix with a spoon, pulling the water into the flour until a dough forms.
  • With your hands, shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten them into disks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate: This will prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk: This will help to brown the crust.
  • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: You can check to see if a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving: This will help the filling to set.

Grandma's Soda Cracker Apple Pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. The combination of sweet apples, tangy lemon juice, and crunchy soda crackers is simply irresistible.
