Brown Sugar Apple Pie To Die For Recipes

Steps:

• If you haven't already, prepare the pastry and refrigerate for at least one hour, until firm enough to roll.
• On a sheet of lightly floured wax paper, roll the larger portion of pastry into a 13 1/2-inch circle with a floured rolling pin. Invert the pastry over a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Center it, then peel off the paper. Gently tuck the pastry into the pan, without stretching it, and let the overhang drape over the edge of the pan. Refrigerate. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• While the pie shell chills, make the filling. Combine the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl; toss well to mix. Set aside while you roll the top pastry.
• On another sheet of lightly floured wax paper, roll the other half of the pastry into an 11 1/2-inch circle. Turn the filling into the refrigerated pie shell, smoothing the apples with your hands. Dot the top of the pie with butter, dropping the pieces here and there over the apples.
• Lightly moisten the rim of the pie shell with a wet finger or pastry brush. Invert the top pastry over the filling, center it, then peel off the paper. Press the top and bottom pastries together along the dampened edge. Trim the pastry with scissors or a paring knife, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang all around, then sculpt the overhang into an upstanding ridge. Make several 2-inch-long slits in the top pastry, at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions; the bottom of each slit should just reach the ege of the pie. Lightly brush the top pastry with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Place the pie directly on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a large, dark baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F Put the pie on the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes; when the pie is done, you should be able to see the juices bubbling up onto the crust.
• Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and let cool for at least an hour before slicing.

Steps:

• Roll out bottom pie pastry on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper and place in 9-inch standard pie pan; place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• In a big bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt; toss well then set aside for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together; stir this mixture into the apples along with the cinnamon.
• Transfer filling into the chilled pie shell; smooth the top with your hands.
• Roll out top pie pastry into a 10-inch circle on a sheet of lightly floured waxed paper.
• Moisten the edge of the pie shell with a pastry brush.
• Invert the top pastry over the filling, center, and peel off the paper.
• Press the top and bottom pastries together along the dampened edge.
• Trim the pastry and crimp or flute edges as desired.
• Using a fork, poke several steam vents in the top, including a couple along the edge so you can check the juices there later.
• Brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Put pie in 400° oven on center rack; bake for 30 minutes.
• Lower heat to 375° and rotate pie 180° (also slide a large foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any drips).
• Bake about 25 more minutes or until golden brown.
• When done, there should be thick juices bubbling out of the steam vents along the edge.
• Place pie on a wire rack and let cool at least 2 hours, preferably longer, before serving.

• Mix margarine, cinnamon, and oat bran to make a streusel like topping.
• Remove pie and top with apples (arrange to make a pattern- I make a sunburst), sprinkle streusel topping over apples, sprinkle apple pie spice next and then pour fat free creamer over top of pie.
• Return the pie to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
• The filling should be thick and firm upon cooling.
