Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 6 tbsp very cold unsalted butter
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp very cold vegetable shortening
  • 5 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • Filling:
  • 4 Cortland apples
  • 4 Macoun apples
  • 1 cup natural sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • Crumb Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup natural sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Maple topping
  • 1/2 cup pure Maple syrup
  • Maple Whip topping:
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp pure New Hampshire maple syrup

Instructions

  1. For the crust: Dice butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare flour mixture. Place flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8-12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water and vinegar in through the processor feed and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Roll the dough on a well-floured board into a circle, rolling from center to edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn’t stick to the board. Then, fold dough in half, place in the pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan.
  2. For Filling: Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Peel, core and slice apples very thin. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Place one layer of apples in the pie crust and sprinkle with 2 tsp of the sugar mixture, repeating the process until all the sugar has been added.
  3. For Crumb Topping: Mix together all crumb topping ingredients with fork until crumbly. Cover filling with crumb topping. Bake in the pre-heated oven at 375° for 30 minutes. Turn pie in oven and cover edges with aluminum foil and continue to bake an additional 30 minutes.
  4. For Maple Topping: Bring ½ cup pure NH Maple syrup to a boil; continue to cook until a candy thermometer inserted into it indicates “soft ball” temperature, about 235°-240°F. Drizzle maple over pie.
  5. For Maple Whip topping: In a large mixing bowl, beat whipping cream and maple syrup until firm peaks form. Cool pie, decorate inside edge of pie and peak of pie with Maple whipped cream, and additional pecan halves.
