APPLE SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan or cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl, stir together the salt and 4 cups flour. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in the egg yolks and milk just until dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness or until big enough to cover the bottom of the jellyroll pan with a little hanging over the sides.
• Arrange the slices of apple to evenly cover the bottom crust. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of flour with the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple slices. Roll out the remaining dough to cover the apple layer and pinch to seal to the bottom crust. Trim off excess crust and brush with egg white.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until apples are tender and crust is brown. If the crust begins to brown too much before the apples are done, cover with foil and continue baking. Cool before cutting into squares.

APPLE PIE WITH CREAM CHEESE PIE CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Chill the butter cubes and the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder) in the freezer for 20 minutes before you begin.
• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a few times until mixed. Add the cold cream cheese cubes and process until the mixture resembles meal. Add the frozen butter and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Add the water and vinegar and pulse again until incorporated.
• Transfer the mixture to a large freezer bag and press it together with your hands until it forms a dough. Leave the dough in the bag and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes.
• Toss the apples in a large bowl with the lemon juice, sugars, nutmeg, and salt. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 3 hours. Strain the macerated apples using a colander suspended over a bowl; you should collect at least ½ cup of juices. Transfer the drained apples back to the large bowl and toss with the cornstarch until all traces of the starch have disappeared. Set the apples aside.
• Transfer the juices to a small saucepan and cook on the stovetop over medium heat with the butter. Bring to a boil and reduce by ½. The juices will be concentrated and syrupy. Pour the concentrated juices over the apples. (If the syrup hardens on contact with the apples, don't worry. They will soften again during baking.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Remove the chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll 2/3 of it into a 12-inch disc on a lightly floured nonstick surface. Trim the edges so it's a (near) perfect circle, reserving any scraps. Carefully transfer the disc to a 9-inch pie plate, tuck the edges under, and crimp the edge gently with your fingertips. (The edge should exceed the rim of pie plate by about ½-inch.) Refrigerate while you make the decorative leaves.
• Roll the remaining dough (scraps and remaining 1/3 of the original recipe) into another, smaller disc. Use a cookie cutter to cut leaves that will decorate the rim of the pie. (Alternatively, you can cut them out by hand.) Use a paring knife to gently press "veins" into the leaves. Place them on a platter lined with parchment or waxed paper and transfer them to the refrigerator.
• Remove the chilled bottom crust from the refrigerator and line with parchment paper, then fill with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork 3 or 4 times, then continue to bake 3-5 more minutes, until the crust is a light golden brown. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool. Brush with ½ egg white, beaten lightly.
• Arrange the apple slices in the bottom crust in overlapping, concentric circles, working from the outside in until all slices have been used. Pour any remaining juices over the apples. Dot the apples with the unsalted butter. Arrange the chilled "leaves" around the perimeter of the pie, adhering them to the bottom crust with drops of water. Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the pastry to rest.
• Remove the pie from the refrigerator and use a pastry brush to brush the pastry leaves and any exposed crust with the lightly beaten egg. Bake the pie for 15 minutes, uncovered, then cover it loosely with foil. Cut 2-3 vents in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for another 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not too soft and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly, then brush the apples with the melted preserves.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. (With vanilla ice cream of course!)

APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE CRUST

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of the food processor and give it a quick pulse to blend the ingredients. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like crumbly sand. Add the cheese and pulse again until combined and cheese is worked into the mixture and cut into small chunks. Turn the mixture out into a bowl, drizzle in 6 tablespoons cold water, and mix in with a rubber spatula until the flour is moistened. Add another tablespoon of water, only if needed. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and flatten to a disc. Rest the dough to relax the gluten, 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Combine the Granny Smith apples, Braeburn apples, sugar, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl and toss to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Adjust the baking racks to the center of the oven.
• Roll out 1 disc of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Add the apples in an even layer and dot with the butter. Lightly brush the edges with egg wash. Roll out the next dough round, slightly smaller than the first. Cover the top of the apples with the second pie dough, pressing the edges to seal the crust. Trim the crust so you are left with a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the crust underneath itself so it's flush with the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Make 5 air slits in the center of the pie. Place the pie on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 45 minutes longer. Cool to room temperature, at least 3 hours, before slicing.
