Steps:
- Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
- Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
- Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
- Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
- Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
DATE-AND-APPLE PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough out to a disk 11 inches in diameter and ease it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges.
- Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of water over the dates and apples, and mix well. Transfer to the pie pan. Top with 1 cup of the crumb recipe. Bake until the filling bubbles, about 60 minutes.

Apple Date and Pecan Pie Recipes Explained
Apple date and pecan pie recipes are a delicious and indulgent dessert that combines the sweetness of apples and dates with the nuttiness of pecans. This recipe is perfect for those who love a classic apple pie, but want to elevate it with extra flavors and textures.
Key Ingredients
The key ingredients used in this recipe are:
- Apples - Choose firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results.
- Dates - Pitted and chopped dates add a natural sweetness to the pie.
- Pecans - Toasted pecans provide a crunchy texture and a rich, nutty flavor.
- Brown Sugar - Brown sugar adds a caramel-like sweetness to the filling.
- Butter - Butter adds richness and flavor to the crust and the filling.
- Spices - Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are the classic pie spices that add warmth and depth of flavor to the filling.
The Perfect Crust
The key to a perfect apple date and pecan pie is the crust. A good crust should be flavorful, flaky, and hold up well to the moist filling. There are two types of pie crusts, a traditional butter crust and a crumb crust. For this recipe, we will use a traditional butter crust.
To make the perfect crust, you will need:
- All-Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Sugar
- Butter
- Cold Water
The key to a flaky crust is to keep the butter cold and to handle the dough as little as possible. Start by whisking the flour, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand. Pour in the cold water and mix just until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough for at least an hour before rolling it out.
The Filling
The filling of the apple date and pecan pie is what truly sets it apart from a regular apple pie. The combination of apples, dates, and pecans creates a rich and complex flavor profile that will delight your taste buds. The filling is easy to make and can be prepared while the crust is chilling.
To make the filling, you will need:
- Apples
- Dates
- Pecans
- Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Allspice
- Butter
- Cornstarch
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Chop the dates and pecans into small pieces. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, dates, pecans, brown sugar, spices, and cornstarch. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly softened and the filling is thickened.
Baking the Pie
Now that the crust and filling are ready, it's time to bake the pie. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the dough and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth it out evenly. Roll out the second piece of dough and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling.
Egg wash the top crust and sprinkle it with some sugar. Bake the pie for about 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool for at least two hours before serving.
Final Thoughts
Apple date and pecan pie is a delicious dessert that combines the classic flavors of apple pie with the sweetness of dates and the nuttiness of pecans. This recipe is perfect for those who want to add an extra layer of flavor and texture to their apple pie. Follow these steps to make the perfect crust and filling for your next apple date and pecan pie.
