FOR WEEKNIGHTS, WEEKENDS & SPECIAL OCCASIONScinnamon crumble apple pie
The classic apple pie elements are flawless as is, but we think this version topped with a thick layer
of cinnamon crumble is pure genius. The buttery, brown sugar-infused topping crowns a generous
mound of tart Granny Smith apples, while a traditional American-style pastry features equal parts
butter and shortening, with a touch of cider vinegar to ensure tendemess.
MAKE CRUST
1. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the
butter and shortening; rub in with your fingertips until,
coarse meal forms. Mix 3 tablespoons ice water and the
vinegar in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture; stir
with fork until moist clumps form, adding more water by
teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather the dough into a ball;
flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastie; refrigerate 30 minutes.
2. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the
oven to 400°F Roll out the dough on a lightly floured
surface toa 12-inch round, Transfer to a 9-inch-diameter
glass pie dish. Trim the overhang to % inch; turn the edge
under and crimp decoratively. Refrigerate while preparing
the filling and topping,
MAKE FILLING AND TOPPING
1. Mix the filling ingredients in large bowl to coat apples.
2, Blend the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a proces-
sor. Add the chilled butter cubes; using on/off pulses, cut
in until the mixture resembles wet sand,
ASSEMBLE AND BAKE PIE
1. Toss the filling to redistribute juices; transfer to the
crust, mounding in the center. Pack the topping over and
around the apples. Bake the pie on a baking sheet until the
topping is golden, about 40 minutes (cover top with foil i
browning too quickly).
2, Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until the
apples in the center are tender when pierced and the filling
is bubbling thickly at the edges, about 45 minutes longer.
Cool until warm, about I hour. Serve with ice cream,
