Deep Dish Apple Streusel Pie

 

This was the big winner at Thanksgiving.

It was the first to be devoured, even before the impromptu poker game ended. And, I’m not gonna lie, having every guest who ate it say, "Oh my GOD. This is so good" is really awesome.

When you are trying (fairly desperately) to wedge your way into the food world, there are certain expectations that people have when you make a dish.

The bar is pretty high.

And to be honest, I’m always nervous. Just like the feeling I get when a friend of mine says, "I’m going to make one of the recipes off your blog!"

I was so relieved when Thanksgiving turned out great. These rolls were so good they were second to be polished off, and this Beer Brined Turkey was the best I’ve ever made. Even though it was the same recipe I used last year, it was even better this year.

And the secret to the best potatoes ever is using an ungodly amount of butter. Like, several sticks. And some sour cream.

But this pie. THIS pie will now be the way I make apple pie. And making it in a spring form pan just makes it look incredibly impressive.

For The Crust:

  • 1 ยฝ cups flour
  • ยฝ tsp salt
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 stick of butter, cold, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbs shortening

  • 7 large Fuji apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (about 9 cups)
  • 3 tbs lemon juice

  6. Pour into the crust.
  7. In a food processor, add the topping ingredients, pulse until combined.

Get out of my head. We made the same pie pretty much and posted it on the same day. And didn’t we do that with honey dinner rolls? We need a SoCal bake-off. Or bake-together ๐Ÿ™‚

Does "deep dish" really mean deep dish? As in, "this pie has no bottom crust"?

Reply

Jackie November 28, 2012 um 10:44 am

That definition of deep dish ("only crust on the top") is usually only applied to "deep dish cobblers" most "deep dish pies" are just made to be thicker, taller and "deeper" than regular standard pies, using a "deep dish" pan or a spring form pan, but with a traditional pie crust. You can do either, the term is used more loosely these days than in the past.

Have you ever posted a recipe that I didn’t fall in love with instantly? No? I didn’t think so. For real, our palates must have a lot in common because your creations always look SOOO good to me. This bad boy is no exception. I’ll take a big ol' slice with some vanilla ice cream ASAP, please! =)
