WHOLE GRAIN APPLE PIE



Whole Grain Apple Pie image

I found this one on Food.com, from Chef Michael Smith. Not only does it look really simple for an apple pie, it's whole grain AND adds an interesting flavour twist! From the description: "This is not a classic apple pie. This pie is easier to make. The pastry is so easy to stir together that you can also make a crumble topping with the same ingredients. Throw in a surprising flavour twist and this pie will become a classic of its own!"

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 Pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 -8 large apples, unpeeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, large, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350F (180C).
  • Put the dry pastry ingredients in one bowl and the dry crumble ingredients in the other, and whisk each well, evenly distributing the finer powders amongst the coarser ones.
  • For the pastry, sprinkle the oil and water together over the dry ingredients. Work with your fingers until it's evenly mixed and moist. Form the dough into a ball. Lightly dust the ball with flour then toss it into a 9-inch (23-cm) pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the plate, taking care to avoid a thickening at the base of the sides, in the corner. Set aside.
  • For the crumble, toss the vegetable oil into the remaining dry ingredients and work the mixture with your fingers until it's well distributed. Set aside.
  • Mix and toss the apples, rosemary, whole-wheat flour and brown sugar together in a bowl. Transfer this mixture into the bottom crust and evenly top with the crumble mixture.
  • Bake until it's golden brown on top and bubbling, about an hour or so. Serve it warm.
  • Freestyle Twist: You can spice up this pie in any number of ways. Try cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or cloves. Or be brave and add cardamom, cloves or mace.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE PIE



Old-Fashioned Apple Pie image

The words "apple pie" conjure warmth, aroma, taste, and togetherness. This apple pie recipe is filled with Granny Smith apples and is tucked into a buttery pie crust. To make this apple pie recipe even sweeter, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Pate Brisee (Pie Dough)
12 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
3/4 cup sugar, plus additional for pie top
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee into two 1/8-inch-thick circles to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate. Place the other circle on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice, spices, and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter, and cover with remaining pastry circle. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake until crust is brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool on wire rack before serving.
