We took a regular apple-pie recipe and sweetened the filling with Mexican piloncillo, an unrefined brown sugar. What a difference a sugar makes. This one has a lot of character and adds syrupy molasses notes to a blend of sweet and
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound piloncillo (unrefined brown sugar; also called panela)
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 (1-inch-wide) strips orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 1/2 pound medium apples
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pastry dough (for a double-crust pie)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Accompaniment: rum ice cream
Instructions
- Put a large heavy baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Bring piloncillo, water, zest, spices, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally until piloncillo has dissolved. Remove lid and boil over medium-low heat until syrup is thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 6 to 10 minutes. Discard zest and cool syrup slightly.
- Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
- Toss apples with flour, then with syrup.
- Roll out 1 piece of dough (keeping remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and chill shell.
- Roll out remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 16-by 11-inch rectangle. Cut dough crosswise into 11 (1 1/4-inch-wide) strips.
- Stir apple mixture, then spoon evenly into pie shell. Weave a tight lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.
- Trim all strips flush with edge of pie plate. Fold bottom crust up over edge of lattice and crimp. Brush lattice (but not edge) with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375 °F and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes more. Cool pie to warm or room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
