Apple Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel
Chef Andrea Meyer from Bisous Bisous Patisserie joins Good Day to make one of her famous apple pies with brown sugar streusel.
Apple Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel
Pie Crust - Yield: 2 9" pie shells
12 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup cold water
Dice butter and keep cold while doing the next steps. Pulse the flour, salt and sugar together in a food processor. Add the butter pieces. Pulse until the butter is pea sized. With the food processor running, slowly add the water until a dough forms. Remove, roll into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
After about 30 minutes, remove the dough and cut it into half. Roll each section on a floured surface into a round large enough for the pie pan. Fold in half to move onto pie plate and unfold. Crimp edges as desired. Make 3-4 1/2" slits in the bottom of the crust.
Filling - Yield 1 9" pie
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ½ pounds apples, peeled and cored, then cut into wedges (5 large)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Melt the butter in a pan set over medium-high heat and add apples. Stir to coat fruit with butter and cook, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk together the spices, salt and .75 cup sugar, and sprinkle this over the pan, stirring to combine. Lower heat and cook until apples have started to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and cornstarch over the apples and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add cider vinegar, stir and scrape fruit mixture into a bowl and allow to cool completely.
Add to uncooked pie shell.
Streusel - Yield 1 9" pie
1⁄3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cups firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoons kosher or coarse salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Dice the butter. Combine all dry in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is pea sized. Add to top of apple filling before baking.
Bake the assembled pie at 350F for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the streusel is browned and the apple juices bubble through.
