DEEP DISH APPLE PIE

This is a truely enjoyable dessert for the whole family over the dinner table. An excellent sweet ending to clear the palate a bit after a hearty meal. I have two recipes on this one from Anna Olson and one from Ina Garten and this time around I used Ina Garten's recipe....absolutely awesome !!!!

Deep Dish Apple Pie - Source Ina Garten  

4 lb granny smith apples peeled, cored, quartered and cored (roughly about 8 apples)

1 Lemon zested

1 orange zested

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice

1 tablespoon freshly ueezed orange juice

½ cup Sugar plus 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on top

¼ cup Plain Flour

1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

¾ teaspoon ground Cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground Nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground Allspice

Perfect pie crust recipe is below

1 Egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Perfect Pie Crust

12 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter

3 cups Plain Flour

1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

1 tablespoon Sugar

1/3 cup very cold Vegetable shortening

8 tablespoons ice Water about 1/2 cup

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
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 and drape it over a 9- or 10-inch pie pan to extend about 1/2-inch over the rim. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.

• Fill the pie with the apple mixture. Brush the edge of the bottom pie crust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1-inch over the rim. 

• Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the 2 together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar, and cut 4 or 5 slits.

• 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.  Serve warm.

Perfect Pie Crust

Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top crust

Resipi Apple Pie yang enak dari Ina Garten...kebetulan apple tergolek-golek di rumah..tak nampak ada yang berminat jadi sebelum kecut dan terbuang saya buat apple pie ini. Wah harum semerbak semasa membakarnya..nampaknya kombinasi apple dan kayu manis memang menjadi. Dessert ini sedap dimakan ice cream atau cream.
