Mile-High Apple Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel image

The name came about when I entered the pie in the Lorain County Fair as an assignment from my editor. The pie barely fit under the dome of my Tupperware® Pie Taker. When I removed the lid at the fair, a 12-year old girl sang out, " that's a mile-high apple pie!" The name stuck.

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¾ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup shortening
1 tablespoon shortening
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Prepare filling: toss apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Prepare crust: put flour, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening, and salt in a bowl. Work it with a pastry blender until shortening is the size of small peas. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, working it in with the pastry blender.
  • Gather up the dough and form it into a flat disc. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board and roll it into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan and flute the edges. Spoon the apple filling into the crust.
  • Prepare topping: gather flour, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl. Work with a pastry blender until butter is the size of large peas. Sprinkle topping generously on top of the pie.
  • Place the pie on top of a foil-covered cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until topping is golden and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool before serving, about 30 minutes.

This apple pie was a hit at our family gathering! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was perfectly spiced and gooey. I also loved the streusel topping, which added a nice crunchy texture.
