  • 3 tablespoons  lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons  unsalted butter

  • 1/3 cup turbinado sugar

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

FILLING
Toss grated and sliced apple in lemon juice; set aside. Heat a large skillet or pot over high heat; melt butter; toss apples in melted butter to coat and reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 5-7 minutes to soften apples; stir frequently. Add sugars, chili powder, apple pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes until thick and syrupy; remove from heat and transfer apples to a baking sheet; set aside to cool.
CRUST
Make your favorite 9â?? single-crust pie, adding 1/2 teaspoon chili powder to flour. (Sorry I canâ??t share my grandmotherâ??s recipe!) Chill dough until ready to roll-out.
TOPPING
Combine sugar, flour and butter with fork until crumbly; add cinnamon and chili powder; set aside.
PIE ASSEMBLY
Pre-heat oven to 425°F; have 9â?? Emile Henry Pie Plate standing-by (purchased online at amazon.com).
Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out approximately 3â?? larger than pie plate; press into Emile Henry Pie Plate; trim overhang to 3/4â??; fill with cooled apples and tuck dough edge underneath itself to be flush with pie plate and flute or crimp as desired. Sprinkle topping evenly over pie filling.
Bake pie in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until crust is a rich golden brown and apples begin to bubble. Cool on wire rack.
