Apple Honey Crumb Pie Aunts Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, blend 1 tablespoon of each - flour, sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the bottom of prepared crust. Set aside.
• 2. In another bowl, mix flour with 1/2 cup sugar. To this mixture whisk in honey, evaporated milk, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
• 3. In a large bowl add sliced apples. Pour the honey mixture over the apples and toss to coat.
• 4. Preheat oven to 425 degree F. Arrange the coated apples in your pie crust. Pour any remaining sauce over the apples. Dot with butter & remaining 3/4 tsp cinnamon. Place into preheated oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Watch the crust carefully so as not to burn. If getting to dark, make guards out of foil and place around crust. Or use store bought crust guards if you have.
• 5. While pie is baking, make crumb topping. In a small bowl combine dry ingredients and then cut in the butter with a pastry blender, or I used my fingers.
• 6. After apples are cooked,reduce oven to 375 degrees and sprinkle evenly with crumb mixture.
• 7. Bake another 10 minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved. This pie is delicious served with ice cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place sliced apples in a large bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice, if desired. In a small bowl, mix together white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle mixture over apples and toss until apple slices are evenly coated. Stir in raisins and walnuts (optional). Transfer mixture into pastry shell.
• In a small bowl ,mix together 1/2 cup flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over apple filling. Cover top loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes, until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Peel and slice apples. Toss with sugars, cinnamon and flour. Set aside.
• Roll crust to make slightly larger to fit 10-inch glass pie pan. Fit bottom crust in pie pan. Turn in apple mixture and dot with butter. Put crust on top and crimp edges of crust together.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Wet hands with water and dampen top of pie. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Puncture top of pie with fork so the steam can escape.
• Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for about 45 minutes more, until crust is golden brown. It's a good practice to place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the pie under the pie plate to catch overflows. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bring pie crusts to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Heat apple butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, water, flour, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer while you prepare the pie.
• Place one crust in the bottom of your pan and fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cut the second crust into strips; set aside.
• Gently pour the honey mixture over the apples. Cover with the strips to form a lattice-style crust. Brush any remaining honey mixture on the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until apples are soft and crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes more.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour with your fingers until it is in small bean-size pieces. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and the vinegar and stir to moisten. Gradually add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water until the dough holds together when squeezed. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap, gather into a disk and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Peel and chop the apples. Put half of the apples in a blender with 1 cup water and puree until smooth. Gradually add the remaining apples and blend until smooth, adding more water 1/4 cup at a time as needed.
• Pour the apple mixture into a large nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring, until very thick and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Line the crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are dry and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove the weights and paper and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is dry and just starting to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F.
• Return the apple mixture to the blender along with 1/2 cup honey and the sugar; puree until combined. Add 3/4 cup heavy cream, the eggs, vanilla and salt and pulse until just combined.
• Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the filling is puffed and dry to the touch, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes (tent the crust with foil if it is getting too dark). Turn off the oven and let the pie sit inside with the door cracked open, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the topping: Beat the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream and 2 teaspoons honey in a large bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread on the pie.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub the butter pieces into the flour using your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Drizzle in the vinegar and ice water; stir gently with a fork to combine. If the dough doesn't hold together when you squeeze it, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the crumb topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingers until no longer floury and crumbs form. Freeze until ready to use.
• Make the filling: Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 400˚. Mix the apples, melted butter, both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into the chilled pie crust. Pat the crumb mixture on top.
• Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ and bake until the apples are completely soft when pierced with a paring knife, 60 to 80 more minutes. (If the topping is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• CRUST.
• Mix flour and salt.
• With a pastry blender or two knifes cut in the cold shortening until it looks like crumbs.
• Sprinkle cold water over flour.
• Toss mixture with a fork to combine.
• Add more water if needed.
• Gently gather dough together into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
• Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Roll dough and place into a 9 inch pie plate.
• PIE FILLING:.
• Mix apples, 1/3 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a bowl then place in unbaked pie crust. (Note: Lately I sometimes I add an egg wash to the crust to make it more crispy but the pie is equally as good without).
• TOPPING:.
• Mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup brown sugar together in a bowl.
• Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
• Sprinkle topping mixture over apples.
• Cover top loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake at 375 Degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake 25 to 30 more minutes, until top is golden brown.
• Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• FILLING: Place apricots in a heat resistant bowl and pour enough boiling water over them to cover. Allow to soak for 5 mins or until soft. Drain. Combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl.
• CRUMBLE TOPPING: In a separate bowl, place dry cake mix, oats, and almonds. Pour melted butter over top and stir, tossing to separate and crumble.
• ASSEMBLY: Preheat oven to 425°F Spoon filling into pie crust. Drizzle with honey. Spoon crumble mixture over fruit filling and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
