I serve this apple pie at my monthly bridge club meetings and it always gets thumbs up. You don't need to serve it with a slice of cheese, since there is cheese in the streusel.Mary June Donovan, Clinton, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1/3 cup golden raisins |
3 tablespoons brandy |
pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches) |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
5 cups sliced peeled tart apples |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
topping: |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed |
3/4 cup grated aged jack cheese |
1/4 cup blanched almonds |
vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine raisins and brandy; cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
2. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. Add the apples, lemon juice and raisin mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to pastry.
3. Combine flour and sugar in a food processor. Add butter; cover and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add cheese and almonds; pulse just until combined. Sprinkle over filling.
