MIMI'S MAINE APPLE PIE



Mimi's Maine Apple Pie image

Maine has some of the finest apple orchards in the United States. Can you tell that I'm partial to Maine? Even though we do have good apples, many other states have good ones too. So where ever your apples come from, this is a good pie to use them in.

  • NOTE: I put thin strips of aluminum foil around the edges of the pie before I bake it so that the edges don't burn; I take them off the last 10 minutes or so, just to make sure they are browned up.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

Handmade Pastry
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 pounds apples such as Rome, Cortland, or Granny Smith, or a combination, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch wedges (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground spices (combination of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and clove)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (or orange juice)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (or orange zest), optional
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc of dough into a 12-inch round that's 1/8-inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, spices, lemon juice, zest, and salt; toss to combine. Pour into lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Roll second disc of dough into a 12-inch round that's 1/8 inch thick. Lay dough over fruit. Cut vents into top crust. Trim edges to 1 inch over pie pan, and seal, crimping edges with thumb and forefinger. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Remove pie from refrigerator. Brush crust with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Place on a baking sheet; this will catch any juices that may overflow during baking. Bake until pastry is golden and juices in center of pie are bubbling, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before serving.
