maple apple pie

Experience a whole new apple pie taste!  Just a touch of syrup adds the sweet familiar taste of maple for a flavorful new twist on a classic dessert.

Maple-Apple Pie

Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

salt

shortening

water

tart apples (5 medium)

brown sugar

butter

maple-flavored syrup

In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).

Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.

Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll 1 round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.

In medium bowl, mix apples and brown sugar. Place in pastry-lined pie plate. Drizzle with butter and 3 tablespoons of the syrup. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.

Roll other round of pastry into 10-inch round. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired.

Bake 15 minutes. Make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart through top crust. Pour remaining syrup over top. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake about 25 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool completely.

Even better than a traditional apple pie, this maple apple pie recipe is made with maple roasted apples, which are tossed with maple sugar before pouring into the pie crust and baking.&nbsp;

Maple apple pie

1.8 kg Cortland apples

pure maple syrup

maple sugar (more or less depending on how sweet your apples are)

mL bleached all-purpose flour

bleached all-purpose flour

unsalted butter (cold,

mL Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt

105 mL cold water

egg(s) (don't add it to the dough! Brush it on the pastry before baking)

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lline two half sheet pans with parchment and set aside.

Peel and core the apples. Cut them into quarters, then cut each quarter into three.

Place the apple slices in a big bowl with the maple syrup and toss them to evenly coat them in syrup.

Divide the slices between the two parchment-lined half sheet pans, arranging them in a single layer. Roast the apples for about 45 minutes, rotating the pans every so often.

Let the apples cool then toss them with the flour and the maple sugar.

For the filling

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt.

Drop in the cold butter chunks and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse almond meal. Add the cold water and pulse until the mixture forms a dough.

Divide the dough into two, pat into disks and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.

Roll out one disk on a floured surface into a 13&quot; disk. Transfer to a metal pie dish and trim the edges to 1/2&quot;. I like this dark metal pie plate available on Amazon.

Pour filling into the pie and smooth it out.

Roll the second disk of dough and use the Nordic Ware pie crust cutter to stamp out a pattern from the top crust, then top the pie with the crust. Trim the edge to 1" then fold the excess under. Crimp the edge of the pie.

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the entire surface of the pie crust. Freeze the pie for 45 minutes, then bake the pie on a baking sheet on the bottom rack for 30 minutes at 400ºF, then 50 minutes at 350ºF.

Let cool slightly before serving.
