Mountain Pie

- 45 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Huge apples are coated with a bit of sugar-free syrup (since the recipient, my future MIL, is diabetic), maple extract, cinnamon and a touch of fresh ginger, enveloped in pastry and baked. To go along with Kitchen Parade's Pi Day Event I even created a new crust for me, using oatmeal and oat flour along with whole-wheat for a completely whole grain crust!
Ingredients
- Crust: shopping list
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup oat flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup quick oats, uncooked shopping list
- ½ teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup shortening shopping list
- 4 tablespoons cold water mixed with 1 tsp white vinegar shopping list
- *** shopping list
- Filling: shopping list
- 3 large or 4 medium apples (any type for "cooking" will do) shopping list
- 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup shopping list
- 1 tsp maple extract (optional) shopping list
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon shopping list
How to make it
- Combine flours and oats in a large bowl.
- Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in water with a fork until a dough-like mixture forms.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 3-4 times to make the dough come together.
- Divide dough in two (make one ball slightly larger) and set the larger dough ball aside.
- Roll out the other dough ball to fit inside a 6" pie pan, place in pan and set aside while preparing the filling.
- Peel, core and chop the apples roughly. Place in a large bowl.
- Combine the syrup, extract, and ginger. Pour over the apples.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over mixture.
- With your hands, toss everything together until all the apples are well coated.
- Pour into pie shell.
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Roll out larger ball of dough and drape over the large pile of apples (and it will be large!).
- Cinch edges with a fork or crimp them if you're feeling fancy.
- Brush outside of dough with a little water and poke crust 3-4 times for ventilation.
- Bake 10 minutes at 450F, reduce oven temperature to 350F.
- Continue to bake for 35 minutes, cool completely on a rack.
