Dried Apple Pie

Dried Apple Pie recipe image
This comforting dessert transforms humble dried apples into a luxurious, tender filling using warm apple cider. The result is a deeply aromatic pie with a rich, concentrated apple flavor enhanced by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of brown sugar. Unlike fresh apple pies, this version offers a unique texture that is soft and yielding rather than crisp. It is perfect for autumn gatherings, holiday dinners, or a cozy weekend treat. The "pour-through" crust technique allows steam to escape while adding a delicate sweetness to the top crust. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly satisfying end to any meal.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound Dried apples
  • 4 cup Apple cider
  • 1/4 cup Plus 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 tablespoon Cornstartch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoon Cold unsalted butter,
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425&# 194;°F (218ðC). Prepare a standard pie crust dough (not listed in ingredients but required by instructions), dividing it into two slightly unequal portions.
  2. 2
    Roll the larger portion of dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll the smaller portion into a 1/8-inch thick circle and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Chill both doughs.
  3. 3
    Place dried apples and apple cider in a saucepan. Add water if necessary to just cover the apples. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes until apples are softened but not mushy.
  4. 4
    Drain the apples, reserving exactly 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Allow the apples to cool slightly.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the drained apples and toss to coat evenly. Pour in the reserved 1/4 cup cider and toss again until fully combined.
  6. 6
    Spoon the apple mixture into the chilled bottom crust. Dot the top of the filling with cold butter cubes.
  7. 7
    Place the second dough circle loosely over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges decoratively to seal. Brush the top crust lightly with milk and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  8. 8
    Cut several long steam vents in the top crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  9. 9
    Reduce oven temperature to 400ðF (204ðC) and continue baking for 30 minutes. If desired, drizzle heavy cream into the steam vents during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  10. 10
    Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or sharp cheddar cheese.
