Streusel Apple Pie with Yeast Pie Crust*
From: Joy @ yesterfood.blogspot.com/
Yeast pie crust turns out to be a delicious cross between pie crust and a slightly sweet bread such as panettone. It puffs up a little thicker than regular pie crust, and has a bit of a bread-like texture, but is still light and flaky. In addition, the wonderful yeast flavor and aroma is the perfect compliment to a sweet, cinnamony, apple filling.
Ingredients:
For streusel:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup salted butter, cold, cut into several pieces (if you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the flour)
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and sugar and stir to combine. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or a fork until uniformly mixed and the size of peas. Set aside.
For filling:
6 cups of peeled, cored, thinly sliced, sweet cooking apples (about 5 pounds; I used Fuji)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice.
In a medium bowl, mix sugars, flour, spices, and salt, and whisk to combine.
Pour sugar mixture over apples, mix well, and pour into prepared crust.
Sprinkle streusel evenly over filling.
Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
Cover edges of crust if necessary to prevent over-browning.
Cool pie on wire rack.
*Yeast Pie Crust is found on the Pie crust board.
