Caramelized Apple Pie Recipe Cooking Procedure
1. Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, and stir to mix. Scatter butter and shortening pieces over the flour mixture. Using a fork or pastry blender, toss flour to coat, then cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture forms large, coarse crumbs. Drizzle ice water over the mixture and toss with the pastry blender until dough is evenly moist and begins to come together in a mass but does not form into a ball. Transfer dough to a work surface. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 375F.
3. Peel, core and cut apples into quarter-inch wedges. Combine apples, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl. Let it stand until juicy, about 10 minutes.
4. Drain, reserving the liquid. In a heavy saute pan, combine the reserved juices and the butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar just begins to caramelize.
5. Carefully arrange the apple wedges, overlapping slightly, in concentric circles in the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes. Continue cooking, spooning the juice over the fruit, until the apples are just tender, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
6. Roll out the flaky pie dough to a circle, about 10 1/2 inches. Lay the pie dough over the pie pan. Tuck the edges of the dough around the pan. Once done, crimp the sides using your knuckle or a fork.
7. Place the apples over the dough then pour all the sauce in.
8. Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, mix flour and sugar. Stir in the butter and cut in the flour mixture using a pastry blender until crumbly and coarse.
9. Crumble the streusel over the apples and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Cool pie for 10 minutes before serving.
