Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound piloncillo (unrefined brown sugar; also called panela)
3/4 cup water
4 (1-inch-wide) strips orange zest
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 1/2 pound medium apples
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pastry dough (for a double-crust pie)
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment: rum ice cream

Steps:

  • Put a large heavy baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Bring piloncillo, water, zest, spices, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally until piloncillo has dissolved. Remove lid and boil over medium-low heat until syrup is thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 6 to 10 minutes. Discard zest and cool syrup slightly.
  • Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
  • Toss apples with flour, then with syrup.
  • Roll out 1 piece of dough (keeping remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and chill shell.
  • Roll out remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 16-by 11-inch rectangle. Cut dough crosswise into 11 (1 1/4-inch-wide) strips.
  • Stir apple mixture, then spoon evenly into pie shell. Weave a tight lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.
  • Trim all strips flush with edge of pie plate. Fold bottom crust up over edge of lattice and crimp. Brush lattice (but not edge) with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes more. Cool pie to warm or room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.

MEXICAN HOT APPLE PIE



Mexican Hot Apple Pie image

Many Many moons ago I worked for a little not-so-fast fast food Mexican restaurant called Jolly Tamale as a cashier and a cook as well (we all did everything there!). They served a dish they called a Mexican Apple pie, which I absolutely fell in love with. I started making these at home using storebought cinnamon tortilla...

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 9

CINNAMON TORTILLA CHIPS
1 pkg tortillas, flour
melted butter
cinnamon sugar
TOPPING
can(s) 1-2 cans depending on how many you're serving, of apple pie filling
1 pkg shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg red hot candies, crushed in a food processor
optional: ready whip whipped cream (the kind in the can)

Steps:

  • 1. TORTILLA CHIPS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush each individual tortilla generously with butter. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, and cut into 8th's. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in oven until light brown (they brown quickly, keep an eye on them!), usually around 8-10 minutes. You can add a bit more butter and cinnamon sugar once they come out of the oven.
  • 2. TOPPING: Place chips on the bottom of an individual serving plate. Spoon apple pie filling over top of the chips. Sprinkle Red Hot candy powder over top of the pie filling (to taste), sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and place in microwave on medium power, until the cheese is melted. You can choose to add whipped cream after it's finished cooking in the micro. SERVE HOT!
  • 3. NOTE: I eat these quite a bit for dessert, and because they're so easy to make, I keep more ingrediants on hand that what I'll use for a night's servings. I bake extra chips, and store them in an airtight container for future use. When I crush my red hots, I use 3-4 bags worth, and put what I'm not using immediately into a ziplock baggy or airtight container for future use. And of course, I'm always stocked up on apple pie filling now, so making these becomes a 3 minute dessert, including prep!!! My personal tastes are to add extra cheese (I love apples and cheddar cheese together!!!), a little extra red hot dust for extra flavor, and opt out of using whipped cream (not a fan of the stuff to begin with.).

MEXICAN APPLE PIE



MEXICAN APPLE PIE image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake

Yield 10 Mexican Pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 can Comstock Cinammon Apple Pie Filling
12 flour tortillas
1/2 cup sugar
Pam Cooking Spray
13 x 9 Baking Pan

Steps:

  • Spray baking pan lightly with Pam cooking spray. Pour sugar onto dinner plate. Spray one side of tortilla with cooking spray, and lay sprayed side down on sugar -making sure the sugar sticks to the tortilla. Place tortilla in baking pan close to short edge, sugar side down. Put pie filling in the tortilla and roll up. Continue this with each tortilla, until pie filling and tortillas are gone. Place in oven and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool a few minutes. You may cut them in half at this time, but be careful, as they are very hot. You can freeze them when they are totally cool, or serve them warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream!

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and water and work the dough quickly to avoid overworking it.
  • To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with lemon juice or ascorbic acid before adding them to the pie.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
  • To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This Mexican apple pie combines the classic flavors of apple pie with a hint of Mexican spice. The result is a delicious and unique pie that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it at a potluck or enjoying it at home with your family, this pie is sure to be a hit.
