Autumn Harvest Pie Recipe
- 12 x (12 x 17") sheets commercial phyllo dough thawed according to package directions
- 1/3 c. unsalted butter melted
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. apple jack or possibly calvados
- 4 c. thinly sliced cortland apples cored and peeled
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush a sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter.
- Place in bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, allowing extra dough to hang over the edge.
- Rotate the pie plate a few degrees, and place another sheet of phyllo on top.
- Repeat, rotating the pie plate, till you have used 8 sheets of phyllo dough, lightly buttering every other sheet.
- The sheets of phyllo should overlap around the pie plate, completely covering the edge of the plate.
- Keep remaining 4 sheets of phyllo covered with plastic wrap or possibly damp towel till ready to use.
- Place sugar in heavy-bottomed saucepan, and place over medium-high heat.
- Allow to heat.
- As a bit of the sugar begins to turn brown, stir continuously till all sugar is a caramel color.
- Remove from heat immediately, and add in the room-temperature butter and Apple Jack or possibly Calvados, stirring constantly.
- Toss in apples and coat.
- (The caramelized sugar will be very sticky.
- Coat apples as best you can.)
- Working quickly, turn contents of pan into prepared fillo crust.
- Tuck the overhanging sheets of phyllo over the apples, buttering the sheets as you tuck them in.
- Butter one of the 4 remaining sheets of phyllo, mix in half, and place on top of apples.
- Continue, lightly buttering each sheet, till remaining 3 sheets are used.
- Using scissors, cut the doubled sheets into thin strips, and, using your hands, toss as if tossing pasta on top of the pie.
- Bake for 25 to 30 min.
- Cold about 30 min and serve.
- This is a deliciously sweet and candylike pie which is best served on the same day it is made and baked.
- It gets soggy overnight.
- Vt.
