Apple Cider Pie
Keys: Desserts Pies
Yield: 8
Ingredients:
3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
1/2 x chopped pitted dates or raisins
1 tbl cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 x store-bought or homemade pie crusts
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbl all-purpose flour
5 cup tart cooking apples peeled thinly sliced
Method:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a small saucepan, stir together
the apple cider, dates, cornstarch, ginger, and lemon rind. Bring to a
boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 2 minutes or
until mixture is thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the pie crusts. Trim crust
even with edge of pie plate. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar
and flour. Add the apples; toss until apples are coated. Spoon the apple
mixture into crust. Spoon cider mixture over apple mixture.
Step 3: Cut slits in the remaining pie crust; place on top of cider
mixture. Trim top crust to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top
crust under bottom crust and crimp edge. Sprinkle with a little
additional sugar. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender
and crust is golden. (If the edge of the crust seems to be browning too
quickly, cover with foil.) Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before
serving.
NOTES : The directions for making apple pie in most early cookbooks were
simple: toss the apples with sugar and bake them in pastry. The authors
assumed cooks knew what to do. Here's a step-by-step for a real how-to
baker.
