This pie forms its own bottom and top crust so it is sort of like a pie/cake. Makes a fairly shallow pie so to make it higher, bake in a 9-inch pan and increase baking time 5-8 minutes. Ingredients:
1 large egg |
1 large egg yolk |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks |
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts |
fresh whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Butter a 9 1/2 inch deep dish pie pan; set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, sugar, and brown sugar; beat, using an electric mixer, for 2 minutes or until light and airy; blend in vanilla.
3. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir into the batter along with the apple and nuts.
4. Transfer mixture into prepared pie pan; smoothing the top to even out.
5. Place pie on the center rack of a 350° oven; bake about 30 minutes or until the top is a dark golden brown and crusted over; the apples will most likely be visible through the crust.
6. Place pie on a wire rack and let cool.
7. Serve barely warm or at room temperature, garnished with whipped cream.
