Bakers Square French Apple Pie Recipe – 1

Ingredients:

Pie crust:

• 2 cups of flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 egg yolk, beaten

Pie filling:

• 6 apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 egg white, beaten

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Combine

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and salt. Use a fork to break the butter, or a pastry blender if available, until it looks like coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Make the dough

Stir in the egg yolk. Add as much cold water as needed to make a soft dough that just holds together. Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Roll

Once chilled, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fold overhang under itself to form a 1/2-inch lip all around the edge of the pie plate. Crimp edge decoratively.

Step 5: Bake the crust

Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, and then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F.

Step 6: Mix and spoon

In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well mixed. Spoon mixture into baked pie shell, mounding slightly on top.

Step 7: Bake your pie

Bake at 300 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until apples are tender. Cool before serving.

Bakers Square French Apple Pie Recipe – 2

Ingredients:

• 1 packet Pillsbury refrigerator pie dough (softened, as directed on box)

For the streusel:

• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine

For the apple layer:

• 3 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice

For the cream cheese layer:

• 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Step 2: Bake your crust

Make pie crust as directed on the box, and place it on a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for at least 10 minutes, or until the pie is lightly brown. The crust normally fluffs up, but you can push it down gently using a fork.

Step 3: Reduce your oven temperature

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.

Step 4: Combine

Stir together streusel ingredients in a separate bowl, except for butter, until it looks like bread coarse crumbs and set it aside.

Step 5: Mix

In another separate bowl, mix the apple ingredients and set them aside.

Step 6: Keep mixing

For the cream cheese layer, mix the sugar and cream cheese, add in the vanilla and eggs, and mix well.

Step 7: Spread the cream

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust and add the apples, topping them with streusel and small cubes of butter.

Step 8: Bake

Bake the pie for around 60 minutes, or until the apples become tender and the streusel becomes golden. You could cover the pie lightly with foil for at least 15 minutes while baking to prevent over-browning.

Step 9: Let it sit

Let the pie rest before eating. Store any remaining leftovers in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
