Yield Makes one 13-by-9 1/4-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
Lucinda's Pate Brisee
1 vanilla bean
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of coarse salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 Cortland apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of pate brisee to a 15-by-12-inch rectangle. Fit into a 13-by-9 1/4-inch rimmed baking sheet, pressing into corners. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Chill while assembling filling.
  • Using a sharp knife, split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into a large bowl along with 1/4 cup flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, apples, and lemon juice; toss to combine. Pour mixture evenly over chilled pie crust. Top with raspberries and dot with butter.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining piece of dough to a 15-by-12-inch rectangle; drape over filling. Fold edge of bottom dough over top dough. Pinch edges to seal. Using a sharp knife, make slits in the dough to create a star shape, to allow steam to escape. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Brush top of crust with egg mixture and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is deep brown, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving.

PATE BRISEE (PIE DOUGH)



Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) image

Pate brisee is the French version of classic pie or tart pastry. Pressing the dough into a disc rather than shaping it into a ball allows it to chill faster. This will also make the dough easier to roll out, and if you freeze it, it will thaw more quickly.

Yield Makes 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust 9- to 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.

Categories     Pies

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 c all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp course salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 c (2 sticks unsalted butter) cold cut into small pieces
1/2 c ice water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • 1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt; pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds. To do this by hand cominge the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then cut in butter with a pastry blender.
  • 2. With the machine running, add the ice water through the feeding tube in a slow steady stream, just enough until the dough holds together without being sticky or wet. Don not process more than 30 seconds. Test by squeezing a small amount of the dought together. If it is still crumbly add more water 1 tbsp. at a time.
  • 3. Turn dough out onto a clean surface. Divide in half and place each piece in plastic wrap. I made mine into discs. Flatten and refrigerate for 1 hr. to over night.
  • 4. Use this to bake your pie. It will make enough for one 15 by 12" pie.
