Ingredients

1 recipe Pate Brisee or store-bought crusts. (pate brisee makes enough pastry for about 1 1/2 pie crusts.

6 or 8 apples, a variety of tart and sweetly tart, McIntosh, Pippins, York Imperial, Rome Beauty, Jonathan, Granny Smith, gravensteins, etc.

Apple spices:

1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

pinch of cloves

1/4 tsp. salt

Gild the Lily Topping (optional--the apple pizzapie is fabulous solo)Patricia Roger's "Topping for Buttered Toffee Apple Pie" in "Just Peachey" cookbook.

1/2 plus 2 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

3 Table. light corn syrup

3 Table. melted butter

2 Table. all-purp. flour

Directions

After washing and coring the apples, slice thinly. (I do this in my food processor). Place the slices in a deep mixing bowl and sprinkle on the spices, tossing gently in the bowl. Set aside.

Rolling out the crust:

Take cold dough out of freezer, and roll out on a lightly floured surface to about the size of a 9 inch pie plate. The object is to thin out the dough, and leave enough thickness to transfer to baking sheet. If using a rectangular pan for baking, create an oval or a more rectangular shape with even thickness before transterring to the baking vessel.

Possibilities :

a pizza pan , a large pyrex casserole, a baking sheet with an edge to catch the juices--like a jellyroll pan.

When ready to transfer, gently fold the dough sheet in half, and place on baking sheet which is in close proximity, placiing the best way to facilitate easy unfolding.

Now place the apple slices in a little steep mountain stack in the center of the rolled out dough. Gently bring up the corners of the dough , creating a "basket" and pinch-close the joining sheets of dough to seal. If a hole appears from too much pulling or a poking out fruit slice, find a thicker edge from the top edges of the pastry and "bandage" it over the hole; and gently "pinch" all around the bandage. Now stick it in the preheated 425 F oven. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pie starts to bubble and the crust is golden.

Meanwhile mix together the topping ingredients in a small deep bowl. Remove pie from oven, and pour topping over it. Return to oven immediately and back 5 minutes (or until topping is melted and dripping all over the pizzapie.) Cool slightly before serving warm. vanilla ice cream, cool whip. nada .

bon apetit!!
