Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
⅓ cup butter
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened and dough comes together. Do not add more water than you need. Divide the dough in half and shape into 2 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with wax paper.
  • Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour to form a paste. Stir in 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread pecan mixture evenly onto lined pie pan. Roll out one ball of dough; line pie pan over pecan mixture. Toss apples with filling mixture; pour into pie plate. Roll out second ball of dough and place over apple filling. Crimp edges of bottom and top crusts together. Cut several small slits into top crust to vent. Place pie on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Remove pie from oven and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Place a serving plate gently over pie and carefully flip to invert, being careful not to come in contact with molten sugar. Peel off waxed paper; cool for 1 hour.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups butter flavor shortening (recommended ( Crisco)
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup cold water
24 apples, preferably Golden Delicious or 24 granny smith apples, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced*
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups melted caramels
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups chopped pecan pieces

Steps:

  • *The number of apples depends on the size of the pie.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the Deep Dish Pie Crust:
  • Cut flour into butter-flavored shortening. Add salt and stir in enough water to make stiff dough. Knead slightly together. Chill dough before using.
  • Use 1/3 of pie dough for bottom crust. Roll bottom crust. Lay in pie pan.
  • For the filling:
  • Combine apples, flour, sugar, and cinnamon and mix lightly with spatula.
  • For the streusel:
  • In a small bowl combine together butter, brown sugar, flour, pecans and cinnamon. Layer this mix every so often between apples.
  • Using stainless bowl, begin layering apples slice by slice, slightly overlapping starting at the outside circle of the bowl and working towards the center. Push firmly as the layers build. Round off top layer of apple slices when you reach the top. Put a single layer of sliced apples in the bottom crust.
  • Take the pie pan with the bottom crust in left hand and the stainless bowl of sliced apples in right hand and invert. Put finger tips under edge of bowl to release the air and gently lift off. Press and firm apples and straighten. Add slices of apple to take away sharp edges (so as not to puncture the pie dough). Add slices of apples to top of pie to round off.
  • Add 4 tablespoons of butter pats on top of pie.
  • Roll out top crust using remaining pie dough. Gently place top crust over the mound of apples. Smooth the sides of pie crust towards bottom of pie pulling out on extra crust. Pinch down to seal 2 layers together. Crimp pie for first time. Cut extra crust with the back of a sharp knife. Re-crimp the edges and push towards the pie.
  • Brush with milk and sprinkle sugar rubbing your left hand from the bottom up to evenly spread your sugar.
  • Put 5 steam vents with a small knife towards the upper part of the pie. Do not vent at the top as it will cause the pie to split open as it bakes.
  • Bake between 350 to 375 degrees F for 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
  • Let cool for at least 1 hour.
  • Spread warm Caramel Pecan Topping on top of crust beginning at the base of the pie above the fluting and working towards the top.
  • Serving suggestions:
  • Drizzle caramel pecan topping with semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.
  • Cook's Note: To add candied pecans to pie recipe, use 2 cups of candied pecans, 1 cup towards the bottom, 1/2 cup towards the middle, and 1/4 cup towards the top.
  • For Caramel pecan topping: Melt caramels completely in microwave. Add evaporated milk and stir until smooth consistency. Add chopped pecans and stir. Spread over pie starting at base and working inches.
