Retro Pie

Delicious Pie!

BY ELISE BAUER
Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 1 hour 15 minutes, Yield: Serves 8

Pre-heat the oven at at 350.F
1 9-inch pie shell, frozen (freeze for half an hour if freshly made) (I recommend our easy, flaky, sour cream pie crust)
2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped (save a few whole pecan halves to create a decoration on the surface of the pie if you want)
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp molasses
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

1st Step: For the pecan filling, mix the molasses, eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl till smooth [mix well] with a wooden spoon no need for a mixer with this recipe.
Next: In a frozen pie crust, spread the chopped pecans over the bottom and pour the filling over the pecans, not to worry, they will rise the surface.

[and if you have a few whole pecan halves] you can arrange them on top, you can just dip them right below the wet filling, so they can rise with the filling.
Next: bake at 350.F for 30 minutes, loosely, to tent the pie with aluminum foil to prevent the crust and pecans from getting browned too much.

Then bake for another 35 to 45 minutes till the filling as set. [It should be a little wiggly in the center of the pie.] Remove from the oven and let it cool completly.
[it will be puffed up some but will settle down as it cools down]

  To make a puree, you’re need a small sugar pumpkin to cut in half horizontally, scrape    out the stringy stuff and seeds with a large metal spoon, on a foil or silpat lined baking       sheet. Bake at 350F about 45 mins to 1 hour till soft, let it then scoop out the fresh.   Whatever you don’t use freeze for future use. Also you can roast or boil them til ltender if you should work on pumpkin pieces fresh whatever you don’t use, freeze for future use. Also if you can roast or boil them till tender if you should work on pumpkin pieces.

Next: Preheat the oven in a loaf pan at {350F  180C} butter the sides of a 8 X 4 X 3 inch loaf pan. Place in the middle of the oven.

Next, place the melted butter, beaten eggs, sugar, 1/4 cup of water, pumpkin puree, orange zest, molasses, mix them all together. Next mix the wet and dry ingredients till there is no dry flour in the batter. Be careful to not over mix! If adding pecans or walnut then stir them in.

Next: Pour the batter into the pan and smooth off the top, then bake at 350F  {180C} depending on your oven and pan from, 45 minutes to 1 hour. { dark pans cook quicker than a light pan } You can also poke in the center of the loaf to see if it comes out clean.

When done remove from oven let it cool for 5 minutes Then work around the edges of the bread with a blunt dinner knife gentry to separate it out of the pan.

Invert it to loosen it from the pan and put the loaf on a rack to cool completely.

Glaze: If you plan on using the glaze, place the orange juice, powdered sugar, vanillia, and zest into a medium bowl whisk together till smooth, if too thick add a little water, too thin, add a little water. Wait till bread completely cools before glaze or slicing the bread….

Best to use a serrated knife to slice.

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 Tbsp whipping cream

Directions for the pie dough

  • In a food processor,  Mix in the flour, almond flour, brown sugar, and the salt and pulse it to a mix,
  • until it takes the shape of a coarse meal, put in the butter and cut it in the size of peas, then add 1 teaspoon of water at a time, keep on mixing till mixture comes together. Pinching in some dough will hold it together.
  • If you see it’s not quite ready, pulse again with a little ice water.
  • Now add the butter while pulsing 6 to 8 times..
  • Then remove the dough and place it on a clean surface, shape it into 2    
  • disks being careful as you do so. Make sure you don’t over-knead the dough!
  • You should see some of the butter in the dough, this makes for the nice flaky crust!
  • Wrap and place it your refrigerator, in plastic wrap for 1 hour or so.
  • Heat your oven to 375 F. in the 3rd rack of the oven.

     Next is making the pie filling:

  • In a large bowl whisking together the flour, sugar, allspice or cinnamon, add the sweetened dried cranberries with the sugar flour mixture while tossing it.
  • Add the apples making sure the cranberries are tossed well throughout all of the apples, the sprinkles with vanilla extract, and the brandy.
  • Take out one pie disk from your refrigerator to set for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature, to keep it from sticking, sprinkle a few bits of flour on it, and with a rolling pin, roll it out on a surface into a 12 inch circle, about ⅛ inch thick.
  • Place the disk into a 9 inch pyrex pie dish and press down to line the dough with the pie dish.
  • Next: Roll out the other disk of dough and place the apples gently in the pie, you can firmly pinch the top and the bottom of the dough rounds together.
  •  Any excess dough you can trim with kitchen shears, to leave an overhang of ¾ of an inch. You will have to fold it under itself so that the edge is flush with the edge of the pie pan, use your forefinger and thumb to flute it, or use a fork.
  •  Whisk together in a small bowl, the cream and egg yoke till it’s blended well. Brush over the top of the pie with a pastry brush. With a sharp knife,cut slits into the top of the crust so the stream can escape as the pie is baking. Bake the pie at 375 F. for 30 minutes. Then cover the pie with a sheet of foil and the lower the temp in oven to 350 F. and bake for 45 to 55 minutes more, it will depend on the type of apples you are using.
  •  When baking is done, the apples should be soft and cooked throughout and the       crust golden brown. Take out of the oven and place them on a rack to cool for least 1 hour.     
  • You can serve the pie warm or at room temperature.
  • Serves: 8  Enjoy!
