Apple Rose Pie
Ingredients
For the pie crust
½ cup all purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 Tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons ice water
For the filling
3 Pink lady apples
3 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt and vegetable oil.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and combine with a fork until the mixture can form a ball.
- Lightly flour some plastic wrap, then place the dough on top. Flatten out dough. Cover with plastic wrap, then place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 425°F.
- Remove dough from fridge. Roll out on a floured surface to ⅛ thickness.
- Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan, then trim the edges.
- While oven is preheating cut the apples into thin semi-circle shapes leaving the skin on.
- Toss the apples in a large pot with the lemon juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat on medium high heat just until the apples are soft enough to bend without breaking about ten minutes. And remember to save the juice.
- Carefully arrange the apple slices around the apple pie crust starting with the outside and making your way to the center of the pie. Once you get to the center of the pie take small pieces and bend them around each other to create the center of the rose. Try to make the apples as compact as possible and go back and fill in any spots as necessary. You should be able to get all six apples in it.
- Drizzle the leftover juice over the apples and bake for 30-45 minutes.
- Cut into 8 equal slices and enjoy!
