Deep Dish Apple Crisp Pie new york times recipes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Start by preparing the cake base. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.Add cold butter cubes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and stir

until a ball forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.

3. Roll out the cake dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch deep cake pan.Transfer to the plate, cut off the excess and press the edges together. Put it in the fridge to keep it fresh.

4. To make the filling, in a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Pour the apple mixture onto

the cake base and mound it up.5. To make a crunchy topping, combine 3/4 cup flour, rolled oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over it and

stir until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.

7. Before serving, let the cake cool on a rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Variations and Tips:

– For a nutty touch, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the crunchy topping.

– To mix up the spices, you can add some ground ginger or allspice to the apple mixture for a more intense flavor profile.

– If you are short on time or prefer a thinner batter, you can use store-bought cake batter; Just make sure it’s deep enough to hold all of the apple filling.

– Always allow your cake to cool as recommended; This patience ensures that the juices are reabsorbed and the slices hold together nicely.

– The key to a foamy, thick filling is the pectin in the apples.Mixing varieties helps balance texture and flavor: sour apples retain their structure and sweet apples add a caramel-like sweetness.

– Enjoy your creation within a day or two for the best texture as the coverage will gradually soften. However, some argue that it is even more delicious the next day!
