Apple and Dried Fruit Lattice Pie
- 1 14 -ounce box refrigerated pie dough
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 2 pounds crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Gala)
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup pitted dried plums
- 1 cup dried figs
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant tapioca
- 2 teaspoons orange-flavored liqueur or apple brandy
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Ease into a 9-inch pie plate; chill until ready to use.
- Make the filling: Peel and chop the apples.
- Pulse the apples, raisins, and dried plums, figs and cherries in a food processor until chunky.
- Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sugar, tapioca, orange liqueur, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt and allspice.
- Spoon into the crust and dot with the butter.
- Roll out the second piece of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips with a knife.
- Arrange half of the strips in parallel rows over the filling, about 1/2 inch apart.
- Working with 1 strip at a time, arrange the remaining strips perpendicular to the first ones, weaving the strips over and under, to form a lattice.
- Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers.
- Brush the lattice crust with the beaten egg.
- Put the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven; bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 1 hour.
- (Cover the edge with foil if it is browning too quickly.)
- Transfer to a rack and let cool until set, about 3 hours.
