Learn how to make Gaby’s Apple Pie

One of the secrets to making a good apple pie is patience.

That鈥檚 what Gaby Perea says.

But you won鈥檛 just need patience when you鈥檙e making Gaby鈥檚 Apple Pie. You鈥檒l also need a lot of patience to wait until dessert to eat Gaby鈥檚 Apple Pie.

Gaby's Apple Pie recipeThe Martin High School senior and advanced culinary student at the Dan Dipert Career and Technical Center showed you how to make homemade stuffing yesterday. Today, she鈥檚 sharing the apple pie recipe that she came up with.

You should know that Perea is a member of the Pastry Club at the CTC and that she loves to bake.

鈥淚 love baking muffins, cinnamon rolls, cakes, pies, everything 鈥 I love it all,鈥 she said.

That鈥檚 exactly the person you want making your Thanksgiving dessert. Lucky for Perea鈥檚 family. But we鈥檙e lucky too, because Perea shares her recipe in the video and below.

But first, remember to have patience.

鈥淏e patient with it,鈥 Perea said about the cooking process. 鈥淒on鈥檛 try to rush it [cooking the apples]. If you try to rush it, you鈥檒l have crispy apples. You want soft apples.鈥

INSTRUCTIONS

颁谤耻蝉迟听

    1. In a large mixing bowl combine the听flour and salt with the paddle attachment.
    2. With the mixer running at medium-low speed, toss the cold butter into the bowl a tablespoon at a time.听
    3. Whisk the eggs with the ice water.
    4. Once the butter has been reduced to 录听to 陆-inch sized pieces (pea-size clumps), drizzle enough of the egg mixture into the bowl for the dough to start to come together.
    5. The dough will still be shaggy, not wet. Press the dough together.
    6. Cut the dough in half and cover in plastic allowing it to rest for at least 30 min.
    7. Once finished resting, roll the dough into circles with a diameter of 12 inches.听
    8. Carefully place one dough into a 9-inch pan making sure to tuck it into the mold until smooth. (You can use the other half of the dough to top the pie with strips if desired.)

听Filling

    1. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt and set aside.听
    2. 听In a large pot add the apple slices and butter and leave at a medium-low heat to draw some of the juices out of the apples.听
    3. Add the spices into the pot making sure to coat all the apples. And continue cooking at a medium-low heat until apples become soft; stir regularly.听
    4. Raise the heat to medium and add the cornstarch over the apples.
    5. Continue听stirring until the apple juices bubble and thicken. Allow the filling to cool completely.听

Topping

    1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add cinnamon, if desired.
    2. Slowly drizzle the butter into the bowl while stirring the crumbs with a fork.

Assembly/baking

    1. Preheat the oven to 375潞 F
    2. Once your apple pie filling has cooled, carefully pour it into your apple pie crust, making sure to evenly distribute the filling.听
    3. Spread the topping on top of the pie.
    4. If desired (not shown in the video), with the remaining rolled pie dough, use a pastry wheel, sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut strips of dough into 12 1-inch-wide strips. Place 6 strips vertically, then weave the remaining 6 horizontally using an over and under method, pulling back strips as necessary to weave.
    5. In a bowl combine your egg and water and whisk until combined. Brush your egg wash onto your crust and sprinkle with your sugar.
    6. Place the pie onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 min. While the pie is听still in the oven reduce the heat to 350潞F and听continue to cook, about 35-40 min.听
    7. Leave the pie to cool before serving as the filling will be too juicy to serve immediately.
