Oh, no! This also was to good to pass up. Going to make this soon too! I hate being sick! Ingredients:
4 pounds granny smith apples, peeled, quartered and cored |
zest of 1 lemon |
zest of 1 orange |
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice |
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on top |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
perfect piecrust (see post) |
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut each apple quarter in thirds crosswise and combine in a bowl with the zests, juices, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
3. Roll out half the pie dough (see right) and drape it over the pie pan to extend about 1/2 inch over the rim.
4. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.
5. Fill the pie with the apple mixture.
6. Brush the edge of the bottom piecrust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere.
7. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1 inch over the rim.
8. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the two together with your fingers or a fork.
9. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and cut four or five slits.
10. Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the crust is browned and the juices begin to bubble out.
11. Serve warm.
