Ingredients: 1
basic pastry dough for two-crust pie 1
qt
apple cider 3/4
lb
dried apples 1/4
c
sugar,
(plus 1 tbs or more
to taste) 1
tbsp
cornstarch 1/2
tsp
cinnamon 1/4
tsp
nutmeg,
freshly grated
1
tbsp
lemon juice 2
tbsp
unsalted butter, cold,
cut in bits
1
tbsp
milk 3
tbsp
heavy cream
***********
vanilla ice cream or
sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Divide the dough into two slightly unequal portions. Roll out the
larger piece on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Fit it into
a deep 9- or 9 1/2-inch pie dish. Roll the smaller piece of dough to a
circle 1/8-inch thick and transfer it to a foil lined baking sheet. Place
the pastry dough in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. 2.
Bring the cider to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the dried apples and
simmer, covered, until they are softened but not mushy, 25 to 30 mins
(timing may vary; add water to keep the apples covered with liquid, if
necessary). Drain the apples, reserving the cider. 3. Preheat the oven to
425F. Sift into a mixing bowl the 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and
nutmeg. Add the drained apples and toss gently. Add 1/4 cup of the
reserved cider (chill the remainder for drinking) and the lemon juice, and
toss again. Add more sugar to taste. Pour the mixture into the
pastry-lined pie dish, mounding the apples in the center. Dot with butter;
then lay the top crust over loosely. Trim off excess pastry, leaving a
3/4-inch border. Turn the edges under the edges of the bottom crust,
forming a smooth border on the rim of pie plate. Crimp or flute the
border. 4. Brush the pastry lightly with milk, then sprinkle with 1 Tbs
sugar for a light glaze. Cut several slashes in the top crust to release
steam. 5. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Lower the
heat to 400F and continue to bake until golden brown, about 30 mins
longer. About 5 mins before the pie is done. Dribble the cream into the
slashes to the top crust, then bake 5 mins longer. 6. Cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or
