Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
6 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a 9 inch deep-dish pie pan, combine pecans, brown sugar and margarine; spread into a single layer. Roll out dough, and place bottom crust over pecan mixture.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into crust in pan. Top with second crust. Fold edges of crust over, and flute to seal edges. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Place pan on foil or cookie sheet during baking to guard against spillage. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
  • Cool pie in pan for 5 minutes. Place serving plate over pie, and flip to invert, being careful not to come in contact with molten sugar. If some of the nuts stick to the pan, remove them with a knife, and place on pie. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pate Brisee for Pink-Applesauce Tart
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 3/4 pounds Granny Smith apples (5 to 6), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Roll out dough to a 12-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges of dough under itself until flush with edge of dish. Crimp edges with fingers, the tines of a fork, or a spoon. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make crumb topping.
  • Crumb Topping: Combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Massage butter into flour mixture with your fingers until mixture clumps together and no dry flour remains. Press into bottom of bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Filling: In a large bowl, toss apples and pecans with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated. Stir together lemon juice and vanilla, drizzle over apple mixture, and toss to evenly coat.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in middle and lower third positions. Place a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet on lower rack. Pour apple mixture into crust. Break up topping into large pieces and sprinkle evenly over filling. Bake on center rack until bubbly and crust is golden brown, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (If crust and crumb topping brown too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, frozen
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
6 cups Honeycrisp apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 scant cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 large egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
  • Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
  • Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
