Recipe from Bon Appétit
Husband-Tested in Alice’s Kitchen
This special
occasion pie is just fantastic. It takes
a bit of time to prepare, BUT you can make and freeze the pie dough and the
streusel in advance! No need for ice cream or whipped cream because this
dessert is perfect as is.
Pie Dough
1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons (1¼ sticks) chilled unsalted
butter
¼ cup ice water or cold apple cider
Filling
8 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (I used Gala.)
1 2/3 cups sour cream
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
Streusel Topping
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
Make Dough: (This
can be made in the food processor.)
Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in medium
bowl. Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles
coarse meal. Add water and toss mixture gently with fork until evenly
moistened. Gather gently into ball. Transfer to lightly floured board and roll
into circle slightly larger than a deep 10-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pan
and flute a high edge. Set aside. (The
dough can be frozen at this point. Thaw
in the fridge.)
Make Filling:
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine apples, sour cream,
sugar, flour, egg, vanilla, and salt in large bowl and mix well. Spoon into the
crust. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking
until filling is slightly puffed and golden brown, about 40 minutes. (If edges
of crust begin to brown too quickly, cover with strips of aluminum foil.)
Make Streusel Topping:
Meanwhile, combine walnuts, flour, sugars,
cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl and mix well. Blend in butter until mixture
is crumbly. Spoon over pie and bake 15 minutes longer. (The dough can be frozen at this point.
Thaw in the fridge.)
