Apple Rose Pie
Ingredients
- For the dough: ⓘ
- 9 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1.2 cups powdered sugar ⓘ
- 1 egg ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon vanilla ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon orange zest ⓘ
- 1 cup finely ground almonds ⓘ
- 1 1/4 cups flour ⓘ
- For filling: ⓘ
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk ⓘ
- 1/2 cup white wine (I used a Souvignon Blanc, but a sweeter wine like a Muscato might be interesting!) ⓘ
- 3 egg yolks ⓘ
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a pie pan.
- For the dough: In the bowl of a mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla extract and orange zest. Then, add the egg and almond meal.
- Add the flour and mix until it all comes together. It will be quite a soft dough, but remember, the less you handle it, more flaky and delicious will be :)
- Transfer the dough to the pie pan and spread it around covering the base and sides of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- For the filling: Combine the flour, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Mix and add the eggs and a splash of the milk. Once it has the consistency of a paste, add the remaining milk and wine.
- Transfer to a sauce pan; bring it to a boil. Transfer to a bowl and cover the surface of the cream with clear plastic wrap then set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, Begin peeling your apples in a circular spiral -try to get them as thick as possible-, continuing all the way toward the core (you're using the whole apple, not just the peel.) Don't be concerned if some strips are shorter, as you can still use them.
- Wrap the apple strips into a rosebud by curling them around your finger.
- Bake the pie until the dough is baked and the apples are a little bit golden (1 hour to 1 1/4 hour.) Your time may vary, so start checking your pie after 1 hour.
- Serve at room temperature.
