A chickychickychick-ENN!!

This looks like one HOT apple pie!

Recommended Posts

I found this on one of my RSS homespun blog feeds. It's a New Mexico recipe which has been the saving grace of one smalltown cafe. I thought, given several people have homegrown chili AND homegrown apple stocks, it might be a good, albeit brave, recipe to try! Measurements in American. Temperatures in fahrenheit.

Smithsonian New Mexican Apple Pie

 

4 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 cup. sugar

3 Tbsp. flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

¾ tsp. nutmeg

½ cup. green chili, hot or mild to taste

3/4 cup. pinon (pine?) nuts

1 Tbsp lemon juice

 

Put apple slices into large mixing bowl. Top with seasonings, chili and pinon mix well. Set aside to blend flavors while the crust is being prepared.

 

Pastry crust (makes four crusts)

This recipe will use two crusts.

The other two can be frozen for future use

 

2 ½ cups. flour

¼ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

½ cup. salted butter

½ cup. shortening

1 egg

1 Tbsp. white vinegar

1 cup. cold water

 

Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter and shortening. In separate bowl, mix egg, vinegar and water. Add to flour mixture and blend with hands until dry ingredients are moist (more water may have to be added).

 

Divide dough into four sections. Roll out one section on a floured board to fit 9” pie pan. Put crust into pan. Place apple mix , mounded in the center. Top with one rolled section of crust. Flute edges, cut vent holes into top crust. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle natural sugar on top (optional). Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then 400 degrees for one hour. Pie is done when juices bubble thick around the outer edge.
