Cinnamon-Crusted Apple Walnut Raisin Pie


  • Active Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

    Dough
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tsp each ground cinnamon and salt
    • 2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter
    • 4 Tbsp cold water
    Filling
    • 4 Granny Smith apples (2 lb)
    • 3 Jonagold apples (11/2 lb)
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
    • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
    • 1/2 cup golden raisins
    • Egg wash (optional)
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 Tbsp heavy cream or milk
    • Decorative coarse sugar (optional)
    • Whipped heavy cream 

PREPARATION

1. Dough: Pulse flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in food processor to mix. Cut butter into 1/2-in. pieces, add to flour and pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add water; pulse just until dough begins to separate from sides of bowl. Gather and divide dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.

2. Place oven rack in lowest position. Place a square of foil on rack to catch any drips. Heat oven to 375ºF. You'll need a 9-in. pie plate.

3. Roll smaller disk of dough on lightly floured piece of wax paper to about a 12-in. round. Invert wax paper and dough into pie plate and peel off wax paper.

4. Roll out larger piece of dough on lightly floured wax paper to about a 13-in. round. With a small cookie cutter, cut out three vents near center of pastry round; set aside.

5. Filling: Peel, halve and core apples. Cut into 1/4-in. slices, then halve crosswise. Toss apples with filling ingredients; mound in pie shell. Invert wax paper with pastry round over filling, centering the vents. Remove wax paper. Trim any overhanging pastry and pinch together edges, fluting if desired. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar, if using.

6. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350ºF. Bake 50 minutes or until apples in center feel tender. Cool on wire rack at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Garden Grilled Cheese Sandwich


  • 8 slices White Bread
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup drained roasted red peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
Combine mustard and mayonnaise and spread lightly on one side of each bread slice.
In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Spread evenly over the mayonnaise side on four slices of bread and top with remaining four slices, mayonnaise-side down.
Spray a griddle or Panini maker with nonstick spray coating. Heat over medium high heat and toast sandwiches on both sides until lightly brown and cheese is melted.
Tip: check the salad bar at your local grocery store. Many times, you can purchase just the right amount of vegetables such as artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, then you won't have a partial can or jar of vegetables remaining.
