SPICED APPLE PIE

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 2h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

8 apples, such as Gala (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons Warm Spice Blend, recipe follows
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons boiled cider syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon flaky salt
Whipped cream, for serving
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For the filling: Cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices and place them in a large bowl. Toss with the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, Warm Spice Blend, kosher salt and cinnamon and toss to combine. Mix in the boiled cider syrup and vanilla. Cover the mixture and let it sit at room temperature while you make the pie dough.
  • For the pie dough: Add the flour, granulated sugar and kosher salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse to incorporate so that about three-quarters of the mixture is mealy and the rest has some slightly larger, pea-sized bits of butter. Combine the ice water and cider vinegar in a measuring cup. Drizzle the water and vinegar into the food processor and continue to pulse just until the mixture comes together to form a dough. If it seems dry or is having a hard time coming together, add a bit more water, a few drops at a time, until it comes together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and use your hands to press on any stray crumbs. Divide the dough in half, then divide one of the halves in half again so that you have 3 pieces of dough. Pat each piece into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to roll out for the pie.
  • For the assembly: Flour a work surface and roll out the largest disc of dough into a circle just larger than 12 inches. Place it in a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate. Roll out the 2 remaining dough discs to about 10 inches each. Cut the dough into 2-inch-wide strips for making a lattice top. Set the strips aside.
  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven (with a pizza stone if you have one) and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Fill the pie crust with the apples (it will seem like a lot but they bake down!) and pour the juices over it. Distribute the butter over the top. Weave the dough strips together over and under to form a lattice crust over the top. Pinch the edges to seal, trim, fold the edges over and crimp. Give the edges a little hug to make sure they are sitting snugly on the rim of the pie plate; otherwise they could fall off in the oven. Freeze the pie for 15 minutes.
  • Brush the lattice with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar and flaky salt. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Serve the pie with large dollops of whipped cream.
  • Layer the cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a medium glass jar and tighten the lid. Shake to combine. Keep on hand to add to your favorite desserts and beverages -- or just toast with butter!

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
3 pounds tart green apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt and mace in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in chilled butter and vegetable shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually blend in enough water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
  • For filling:
  • Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. In large bowl, toss apples with 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon peel, mace, cloves and allspice.
  • Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter deep dish glass pie plate. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Brush edge of crust lightly with water. Transfer apple mixture to crust, mounding in center. Roll out second dough disk to 12-inch-diameter round. Place atop apples. Trim dough overhang to 1 inch: reserve scraps. Fold top crust edge under bottom crust edge, pressing to seal. Crimp edge decoratively.
  • Reroll pastry scraps and cut out leaf shapes. Brush 1 side of each leaf with milk and arrange, milk side down, decoratively atop crust. Cut several slits in crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • Place pie on baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden brown and juices bubble, covering crust edges with aluminum foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the apples from browning and will make them easier to eat.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to your apples before baking them. This will help to draw out their juices and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a combination of spices in your pie filling. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust. This will prevent the pie from bubbling over and making a mess.
  • Bake your pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure that your pie is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Spiced apple pie with raisins is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your apple pie turns out perfect every time. So grab your apron and get baking!
