Make This Apple Pie Filling for your Pies & Tarts
Print the Recipe:
Ingredients
10 apples, peered, cored, and sliced
4 oz (114 g) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 and 1/2 tablespoons (50g) cornstarch
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add all of the remaining filling ingredients except for the cream. Cook the filling until it thickens. The apples should be fork tender. Remove from the heat and add the heavy cream. Mix and set aside to cool completely. The filling can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If the apples release too much liquid, the filling may take longer to thicken. To prevent the apples from getting mushy, combine a tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of warm water together in a bowl. Whisk tigether and add to the filling. This will help thicken the juices faster. If the filling gets too thick (too much cornstarch), thin it out with some more heavy cream and a splash of water or apple juice.

Super Apple Pie
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 7 hr 45 min
Prep: 1 hr
Inactive: 6 hr
Cook: 45 min
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients
For the crust:
6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ounces vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 to 7 tablespoons applejack
12 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 2 3/4 cups, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the filling:
3 to 3 1/2 pounds apples, mixture of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn and Golden Delicious, about 6 large apples
1/2 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons apple jelly
1 tablespoon apple cider
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise
Directions
For the crust:
Place the butter, shortening and applejack into the refrigerator for 1 hour.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt and sugar by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add the butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until the texture looks mealy. Add the shortening and pulse another 3 to 4 times until incorporated.
Remove the lid of the food processor and sprinkle in 5 tablespoons of the applejack. Replace the lid and pulse 5 times. Add more applejack as needed, and pulse again until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Weigh the dough and divide in half. Shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
For the filling:
Peel and core the apples. Slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss all of the apples with 1/4 cup of the sugar, place in a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain for 1 1/2 hours.
Transfer the drained liquid to a small saucepan, place over medium heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons. Set aside to cool. Toss the apples with the remaining sugar, tapioca flour, jelly, cider, lime juice, salt and grains of paradise.
For assembling and baking the pie:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator. Place the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper. Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and roll out into a 12-inch circle. Place into a 9 1/2 to 10-inch tart pan that is 2-inches deep. Gently press the dough into the sides of the pan, crimping and trimming the edges as necessary. Set a pie bird in the center of the bottom of the pan.
Place the apples into the unbaked pie shell in concentric circles starting around the edges, working towards the center and forming a slight mound in the center of the pie. Pour over any liquid that remains in the bowl. Roll out the second pie dough as the first. Place this dough over the apples, pressing the pie bird through the top crust. Press together the edges of the dough around the rim of the pie. Brush the top crust with the reduced juice everywhere except around the edge of pie.
Trim any excess dough. Place the pie on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake on the floor** of the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to the lower rack of the oven and continue to bake another 20 minutes or until the apples are cooked through but not mushy. Remove to a rack and cool a minimum of 4 hours or until almost room temperature.
Cook’s Note:
**If you're using an electric oven with coils on the bottom of the oven, place the pie on the sheet pan on the lowest rack over the coils, NOT directly on top of them.

Paper Bag Apple Pie Recipe
This is my great grandmother’s pie recipe. True story: when I met the Golden Ratio’s dad I made him this pie. He loved it and I have made him a pie every week for the last 6 years and counting because pie = love.
For the pie filling
6 apples
½ c sugar
2 T flour
1 T cinnamon
For the topping
½ c butter
½ c flour
½ c sugar
Cut the apples into chunks or thin slices. Mix well with the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Heap these into a pie crust. Arrange them so hopefully nothing falls out. It will look super heaped up, but the apples cook down, so don’t worry.
For the toping, combine all the ingredients. If you have a stand mixer or food processor, you can combine it that way. If not, cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is coarse, like cornmeal. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over top of pie and pat it down to keep it in place.
Slide pie into a brown paper grocery bag. Fold the open end under. Put the whole bag in the oven. Bake at 425 for 90 minutes. You might want to place a cookie sheet on a rack under the bag to catch drips. The bag might get a little brown, but I promise it won’t catch on fire (but be smart – don’t let it touch the heating elements obviously).
When it's done, very carefully, remove the bag from the oven. Don’t tilt it or the delicious pie juices will spill out. Split the bag open and let the pie cool.
