This isn't a 'fruit' deep dish pie... it's more of a savory than a sweet. But it is still a pie that needs a real deep dish. It's pure heaven... make one, you'll see. Use it for leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. yum!

Answer 3

Deep Dish Berry Pie

Serves 8.

3 cups fresh blueberries, washed and drained
2 cups fresh red raspberries
1 cup fresh black raspberries
2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and halved if large
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely minced lemon zest
1/3 cup blackberry brandy
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup tapioca
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water

In a large bowl, combine all of the berries. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, zest, and brandy. Toss gently to coat.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, tapioca, and sugar, and toss the mixture gently with the fruit. Pour the berry mixture into a 1 1/2 quart ovenproof baking dish, and set it aside.

Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut out a circle about 2 inches larger than the baking dish. Brush the circle lightly with the egg wash. Place the pastry, wash side down, over the berry filled baking dish, and stretch it tight, like the head of a drum. Press the overhanging dough against the sides of the dish; it should adhere all around. cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

When ready to bake, brush the top with egg wash and bake for 15 minutes; reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for 25 minutes longer, or until the crust is golden.

Do not open the oven door for the first 20 minutes or the pastry may fall.

Remove the dish from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

NOTE: The combinations of berries can vary according to taste and availability, but in any case should equal 8 cups.

Answer 4

Deep-Dish Apple Pie

4 lb. Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered, cored
1 lemon, zested
1 orange, zested
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tsp. to sprinkle on top
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
Doulbe pie crust
1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp. water, for egg wash

Preheat the oven to 400º F.

Cut each apple quarter in thirds crosswise and combine in a bowl with the zests, juices, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

Roll out half the pie dough and drape it over a 9- or 10-inch pie pan to extend about 1/2-inch over the rim. Don't stretch the dough; if it's too small, just put it back on the board and re-roll it.

Fill the pie with the apple mixture. Brush the edge of the bottom pie crust with the egg wash so the top crust will adhere. Top with the second crust and trim the edges to about 1-inch over the rim. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the 2 together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the entire top crust with the egg wash, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar, and cut 4 or 5 slits.

Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the crust is browned and the juices begin to bubble out. Serve warm.
