Momâs apple pie might be a cliché, but others have tried and failed to rival my momâs recipe. My siblings and I panic when anyone else takes the holiday apple pie assignment and make sure Mom is making hers, too. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2-1/4 pounds) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided |
warm maple syrup, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
2. Unroll one pastry sheet into a 9-in. pie plate; trim even with rim. Add filling. Dot with butter; drizzle with 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Unroll remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Brush pastry with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
3. Bake at 425° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover pie loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with warm maple syrup. Yield: 8 servings.
