recipe

Pomme rouge

Step 1

Wash and peel apples. Cut into thin slices. Add to a medium sized sauce pan over low heat and cover.

Cannelle (en poudre)
Vergeoise blonde
Sel
Bourbon

Step 2

Let apples simmer and add cinnamon, brown sugar, almond extract, and bourbon. Cover, but open and stir occasionally. Let this mixture simmer for a half hour to one hour, keeping the heat very low.

Step 3

While apples are cooking down, make your pie crust. Place flour in a large bowl and create a crater in the flour (with your hands). Cut crisco into small cubes (1x1 inch).

Step 4

Begin to mix all of the cubed crisco into the flour with your hands. The flour acts as the glue. Add 1 tblspoon of ice water and continue to create a dough with your hands. The texture will be sticky and not want to consolidate. Add ice water 1 tblspoon at a time until a dough starts to form. Create a ball of the dough

Step 5

Cover a clean counter space with flour then work your dough, compacting it into a tighter and tighter ball after ensuring that a dough has taken shape. Wrap in saran wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven for 400 F

Step 6

After 30 minutes, take the dough out and roll out into a circle large enough to fill a pie pan. Dough should be fairly thin (around a cm). Place dough into pie dish and pinch edges

Step 7

Blind bake (pre bake) the pie crust for 15 minutes. Take apple mixture off of the heat and let cool.

Step 8

Take pre baked pie out of the oven and fill with apple mixture. Optional: create a design with any remaining dough and brush raw egg over it and a pinch of flaky salt or salted butter 😊😊😊

Step 9

Cook at 400° for 10 minutes, then remove from oven quickly, loosely cover in aluminum, and drop the temp to 350. Continue cooking for 30 minutes or so, until dough is cooked through and golden brown on the edges.

Step 10

Let sit and serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers :-)
