New Mexican Apple Pie - with green chilli and pine nuts


Erik said it was delicious, so I found the recipe...

Created in 2003. 


The green chili and pinon nuts are produce of the area.

[The recipe doesn't say what type of pastry to use, perhaps Short or Sweet pastry?]

For a 9 inch pie  [22 cm]
6 cups peeled sliced apples
Granny Smith apples work great  (I prefer a mix of Grannys and Fuji or Galas)
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of sugar, white works fine but I prefer Turbinado [brown/raw sugar]
 2 Tbls cinnamon
1/2 tsp of dried ground ginger
1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
2 oz of fresh lemon juice  [60 mls]
2 oz of hot green chili  [50gms]
2 oz of pinon nuts (pine nuts) [50 gms]
egg wash 1 egg and 2 oz of water
2 Tbls of turbinado sugar [brown/raw sugar]

Mix all ingredients well in a bowl and let them sit for 20 minutes to meld
Fill the bottom crust and cover with a full top crust
Poke the top crust with a fork to vent
Brush with an egg wash
Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar
Bake in a 375 F degree oven for about 1 hour  (190 C)
Turn the pie every 20 minutes to get an even golden brown and look for thick bubbles of juices from the vent holes.

 I suggest a scoop of Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Share with good people and enjoy
