Slow cooker's "Keep Warm" function to maintain the perfect temperature while you prep your pie filling. Once your apples are tender, top with a pre-made crust and set it to cook for a few hours on low, allowing the flavors to meld without any hassle.
"Saute" function to cook your apples with spices, sugar, and butter directly in the pot. Once ready, use the "Pressure Cook" setting for just 8 minutes to quickly seal in all the flavors. You can even use the "Yogurt" function to make a quick, creamy topping
Use the air fryer's preset temperature and time functions for perfect results every time. Set it to 350°F and let the air fryer do the work, creating a crisp, golden crust in about 20 minutes without preheating or constant monitoring.
It's recommended to use a combination of firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for structure and tartness, and softer, sweeter apples like Golden Delicious or Braeburn for flavor and juiciness.
use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice for warmth and depth of flavor. Adding a small amount of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can also provide balance and brightness to the filling.
use a combination of butter and shortening for their distinct qualities- butter for flavor and tenderness, and shortening for flakiness. Chilling the dough before rolling it out can also help prevent it from becoming tough.
it's essential to layer the apples evenly and avoid air pockets. Mix the apples and spices together thoroughly before pouring them into the prepared crust. Dotting the top of the filling with butter can also provide richness and flavor.
Preheat the oven and place the pie on the lower rack to ensure the bottom crust gets enough heat. Covering the edges of the crust with foil or a pie shield can also prevent them from burning.
Allow it to cool and set before slicing. It's recommended to let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to prevent the filling from running. Serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
