Apple Pie
This apple pie recipe takes advantage of the Auto Steam Bake Mode’s ability to make a beautiful, glossy top crust.
Before You Start
It is best to use a couple of different kinds of baking apples, as they will each lend their own flavors and nuances to the dish.
Preparation Method
- In a large bowl, combine all the pie crust ingredients.
- Crumble lightly together until well combined.
- Mix in the cold water and bring the dough together with a fork.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and set one back in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel.
- Roll out the first piece of dough on a generously floured surface until about 1⁄8 inch thick, or large enough to cover the bottom and side of a pie pan.
- Place the rolled-out dough in a pie plate or dish.
- In another bowl, combine apple mixture ingredients.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Place the 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the apple mixture in small pieces.
- Roll out the remaining dough into a top crust and place on top of the pie.
- Crimp the edges of the pie and cut off any excess dough.
- Cut a few small vent slots in the top of the crust.
- Place on the wire rack set on position 2.
- Select the Auto Steam Bake Mode set to 440°F.
- Set the timer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, open the oven and rotate the pie.
- Reduce the temperature to 400°F and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the pie and place on a cooling rack.
- Allow to cool for 45 minutes before serving.
