Butter Cracker Apple Pie Recipes

APPLE BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine apple butter, egg, sugar, flour and milk; mix well. Pour into the pie shell; sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°; bake 35 minutes more or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.

KEY LIME PIE WITH BUTTER CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Put the crackers in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add the butter, sugar and egg white and pulse until the mixture comes together like wet sand (it should hold together when pinched). Transfer to the prepared pie plate and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, lime juice, salt and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Pour into the cooked pie shell and bake until the filling is set and only slightly jiggles in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until chilled, about 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Prepare the garnish: Use a citrus zester to make strips of zest. Then cut away all of the peel and white pith (save the other half for another use). Cut the lime "meat" into small chunks.
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with whipped cream. Pipe mounds of whipped cream around the edges of the pie and decorate with chunks of lime and zest. Serve immediately or return to the refrigerator to chill until serving.

MOCK APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the water, sugar and cream of tartar; bring to boil.
• Drop in whole crackers and boil for 5 minutes. Pour mixture into pie shell; sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon juice.
• Mix together the crushed crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter; sprinkle over pie filling.

BROWN-BUTTER APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is golden brown and fragrant, about 8 minutes; let cool. Toss together apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Combine flour, salt, granulated and brown sugars, and vanilla-bean seeds in another bowl, breaking up clumps and combining with a fork or fingers. Add browned butter to apples. Stir in flour mixture.
• Roll out 1 disk of dough to just under 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Roll out remaining disk of dough to a 13-inch round. Rolled-out dough can be refrigerated up to 8 hours. (Be sure to let the 13-inch round sit at room temperature until pliable before topping pie, or it will break.) Place apples in pie shell, brush edges with water, and cover pie with top crust. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold top edge over bottom crust to seal, and crimp as desired. Cut steam vents in top crust. Freeze pie 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in lowest position. Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on floor of oven to catch any drips. Bake pie on lowest rack 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until well browned, about 1 hour. Tent pie with foil and continue to bake until bubbling through vents, about 20 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 6 hours. Pie can be made 1 day ahead and stored at room temperature.

FRESH APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Stir together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in large bowl. Add apples; toss. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter.
• Roll remaining pastry; cut into 10 strips, each about 1/2 inch wide. Place 5 strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through by first folding back every other strip of the first 5 strips. Continue weaving, folding back alternate strips before adding each cross-strip, until lattice is complete. Trim ends. Fold trimmed edge of bottom crust over ends of strips, building up a high edge. Seal and flute. Brush lightly with milk; sprinkle lightly with additional sugar.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is bubbly.

BUTTERED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Roll out the larger piece of dough to a 1/8-inch thickness and use it to line a deep 9-inch pie pan. Do not trim overhang yet. Roll the other piece between sheets of wax paper into a rectangle roughtly 12 inches long and 1/8-inch thick. Refrigerate shell and rolled dough for at least a half hour.
• Combine sugar, cinnamon and mace. Toss apples with rosewater, then with butter. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Sprinkle a third of the sugar mixture over the bottom of the shell. Arrange a layer of apples on it and sprinkle with another third of the sugar. Add the remaining apples, rounded sides up, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
• Brush the rim of the pie with cream and return it to the refrigerator.
• Working quickly, peel wax paper from one side of the reserved sheet of dough, replace it lightly, flip dough and remove paper from the other side. Working on the wax paper, create a decorative open-work crust either by cutting 1/3-inch strips and weaving a lattice or by using a knife or cookie cutter to make a pattern that allows the apples to show. Stop and refrigerate if the dough starts to soften.
• Carefully flip top crust onto pie. Press around the edges to seal and trim overhang to a half-inch beyond rim. Fold it over the top crust edges and crimp up into a decorative rim.
• Bake the pie 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 375 and bake 50 minutes more, or until the apples are very tender and the crust is a rich brown. Allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes and serve while still warm.
