Bake a Deliciously Non-Evil Apple Pie at home in honor of Disney’s new live-action Snow White Movie

Houston – Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Disney’s live-action Snow White, we’re heading into the kitchen with pastry chef Rebecca Masson of Fluff Bake Bar.

Masson, known for her sweet creations and for being Houston’s “Sugar Fairy,” is showing us how to bake a Deliciously Non-Evil Apple Pie in honor of Disney’s first fairy tale.

The classic story of Snow White features a famous poisoned apple, but Masson’s apple pie is anything but evil. It’s a sweet and comforting dessert, perfect for any occasion. Masson shared some tips and tricks she says will help make sure you get the perfect pie every time, complete with a tasty caramelized pie crust.

Deliciously Non-Evil Apple Pie

CRUST:

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
3. ½ teaspoon salt
4. ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
5. ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons shortening
6. 1 tablespoon white vinegar
7. 2 tablespoons cold water

Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor or medium bowl. Add the butter and shortening and cut the ingredients together until crumble. Combine the vinegar and water; add to the mixture, mixing briefly. If necessary, add just enough cold water for the dough to come together. Gather into a ball, flatten, wrap in plastic, and chill for a least 1 hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out fairly and think into a neat circle. Fit it, without stretching, into a buttered deep 9½–inch or 10-inch pie pan. Form a high-fluted border. Chill the pie shell.

FILLING:

1. 8 mountain rose apples
2. juice of ½ lemon
3. ½ cup sugar or more to taste
4. 3 tablespoons flour
5. 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
6. ½ teaspoon cloves
7. ½ teaspoon nutmeg
8. ½ teaspoon salt
9. ½ teaspoon cardamom

Peel, core and quarter the apples. Slice them into a large mixing bowl, tossing them with the lemon juice to prevent browning. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat. Preheat oven to 375°. Scatter the apple mixture into the chilled crust, mounding it in the center. Place in the oven; place a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below to catch any drips. Bake for 25 minutes.

TOPPING

1. 2 tablespoons flour
2. 1 stick + 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
3. 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
4. ½ cup pecans, roughly chopped

In a food processor, cut together the flour and butter until it resembles coarse meal. Mix in the brown sugar, then pecans. Refrigerate until needed. Raise the oven temperature to 400°. Scatter the topping over the apples, covering them completely and pressing gently to adhere. Bake until the topping is nicely browned, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool the pie on a wire rack and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Enjoy!
