Deep Dish Rhubarb Pie With Crumb Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Combine all ingredients except pastry and place in a 9 x 5 x 2" baking pan.
• Place pie crust on top of mixture, fold overhanging crust under and press double edge against rim of dish.
• Prick crust with the tines of a fork to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350F and bake until fruit is tender and crust is a delicate golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the crust: Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor, pulsing to combine. Add in the butter and pulse until butter is the size of peas. Add in the vanilla and water, pulsing again just until the dough comes together, adding more water by the tbsp if necessary. Gather dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thick round. Peel off the top sheet of paper. NOTE: My preferred method to rolling pie dough is on a non-stick pie mat (I buy it from King Arthur flour). I lightly dust the mat. I prefer a french rolling pin, and start in the middle and roll out, then make a 1/4 turn of the dough. Roll, turn, roll, turn, sometimes lifting the pie dough to lightly dust with more flour if necessary. My pie dough never sticks, this way! I place the rolling pin on the edge of the rolled dough and drape the pie crust and gently roll it on the pin; then unroll it over my pie plate. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Discard the paper, if using. Trim the overhang to 1/2-inch and crimp edges if desired. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Line the crust with parchment paper or foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is set, about 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans. Brush the crust with the egg glaze. Bake until light brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely. NOTE: My pie crust baked a much darker color than I prefer. I would suggested using a pie crust shield, or you can simple roll strips of foil to fit around the pie crust edge. For the topping: Increase oven temperature to 375. Combine the oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse in the butter until crumbly. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until use. For the filling: NOTE: If using Clear Jel, whisk it in with the sugar. ClearJel does a remarkable job of preventing runny fruit pies Love this product! Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch (if not using ClearJel), cinnamon and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan. Allow to macerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer until juices thicken, about 3 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Cover with the topping. Bake for 35 minutes or until topping is golden and juices are bubbling. Cool on rack. Serve warm or at room temp. To make ramekins: Instead of making the pie crust, simply fill ramekins with the strawberry filling, then use the topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until filling is bubbly. Serve warm, or at room temp, topped with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 370 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into an 11-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim off any overhanging dough to make a 1/2-inch wide overhang around the edge of the pan. Flute the edges of the dough with your fingertips.
• In a large bowl, mix the rhubarb, apples, sugar, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, the cornstarch, lemon juice, and brandy, and toss to coat the fruit evenly. Pour the mixture into the piecrust.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, walnuts, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the filling.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the shortening and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and let sit 1 minute. Using either a fork or your hands, carefully press the mixture together to form a soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a circle about 12-inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch by 2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Crimp the edges and place in the oven.
• Bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk 1 cup of flour and salt in a bowl.
• Cut 1/3 cup of butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Moisten with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture holds together. Shape the dough into a ball, and roll out into a 12-inch circle on a floured work surface. Crust will be thin. Fold the dough gently into quarters, and lay into a 9-inch pie dish; unfold the dough and center the crust in the pie dish. Trim the crust to 1/2 inch of overhang, and crimp or flute the edge of the crust. Refrigerate crust while making filling.
• Mix 1 1/4 cups of sugar, 1/3 cup of flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in the rhubarb and strawberries, and pour into the crust-lined pie dish. Sprinkle with pecans. Mix 1 cup of flour with 2/3 cup of sugar in a bowl, and cut 1/3 cup of butter into the mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pie filling. Cover the edge of the pie with strips of aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crumb topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to brown the pie edge.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Place flour, butter, sugar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Transfer bowl to freezer for 20 minutes. Remove bowl from freezer and attach to mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until mixture resembles a coarse meal, about 2 minutes.
• In a small glass measuring cup, combine ice water and vinegar. With the mixer on low, slowly add just enough water mixture to flour mixture so that it comes together into shaggy clumps. If all the liquid is used and dough still doesn't hold together, add additional cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Take care not to overmix.
• Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap; shape into a 5-inch disk and wrap. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough into a 12 1/2-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Tuck excess dough under edges to create a double thickness and a smooth edge; pinch every 2 inches to create a decorative edge. Transfer to refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes.
• Make the filling: Preheat oven to 350 with a rack set in the center of oven.
• Place all filling ingredients in a medium bowl; gently toss to combine. Set aside.
• Make the topping: Place all topping ingredients in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut mixture until the biggest pieces of butter are the size of small peas. Mixture will be dry.
• Place filling in chilled pie shell and sprinkle with topping. Place pie plate on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is dark golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• CRUST: Blend flour, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Add butter and shortening and rub between fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add vanilla. Mix in enough water by tablespoons to bind dough. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.) Roll out dough between sheets of lightly floured waxed paper to 1/8-inch-thick round. Peel off top sheet of paper. Trim dough to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie dish; discard paper. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Crimp edges. Refrigerate 20 minutes. (Optional garnish: Gather dough scraps and roll out on lightly floured surface to thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut out fourteen 3-inch-long leaves with knife or cutter. Refrigerate leaves until ready to use.) Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line crust with parchment paper or foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 15 minutes. Remove paper and beans. Brush crust bottom and sides (not edge) with some of glaze. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oats. Bake until light brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely. TOPPING: Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Combine 2/3 cup oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in processor.
