Ingredients
- 1 pound slightly tart apples peeled, cored and cut into smaller chunks (approximately 3 apples)
- 1/2 cup plum preserves Bonne Maman® Golden Plum Mirabelle Preserves
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 large egg mixed, or milk of choice to brush on crust
- Demerara sugar or regular white sugar to sprinkle on crust
Instructions
- Prepare 1, 1½ or 2 recipes of my Grandma’s Pie Crust, depending on how much pastry crust you would like to have on top of your pie. Shape into a flat disc, then wrap with plastic and set on the counter while you prepare the filling.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with the preserves, lemon juice, sugar, orange peel and spices. Set aside while preparing the crust.
- Roll out the pastry crust onto a clean counter or pastry mat (preferred) dusted well with gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour or gluten-free starch like cornstarch. (Click to follow step-by-step rolling directions) The crust should be at least 2 inches larger than the edge of your pie plate.
- Transfer the crust into the pie plate (Click to follow step-by-step transfer directions). If using thin, watery preserves, finely crush 3/4 cup gluten-free graham crackers or other cookies and sprinkle onto the pastry. Spread the mixed fruit on top of the pastry or the pastry with cookie crumbs. Gently fold the edges of the pastry over the fruit filling and pleat or arrange however you like.
- Brush the mixed egg or milk onto all exposed pastry, then sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350° F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crust is lightly browned and slightly crispy outside, but not tough.
- Serve warm.
