Bourbon Apple Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel and core the apples. In a large bowl mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and apples. Toss to coat evenly.
• In a wok or large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add apple mixture. Cook until apples start to soften and brown slightly, about 7-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add bourbon (you can use brandy instead). Simmer down to a light syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the orange zest.
• Put one pie crust into a 9" deep pie dish. Add filling. Slice the second pie crust into 1/2" strips. Lattice the top using the strips and using a basting brush coat lattice with egg wash (beaten egg plus 1 tablespoon of water). Sprinkle evenly with tablespoon of sugar.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 50 more minutes. Keep a cookie sheet on the oven rack below to catch any spillage from the pie. Serve warm with ice cream and La Lechera Dulce de Leche.

Steps:

• This recipe is for a 9.5-inch, double crust, deep-dish pie.
• Put the sliced apples in a large pot and simmer with the water and lemon juice.
• Simmer and stir until just tender, 8-10 minutes.
• As the apples are simmering, prepare your favorite 2-crust pie crust recipe.
• Line a deep dish pie pan with the bottom crust.
• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Mix together the sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, spices and tapioca.
• Remove the apples from the pot using a slotted spoon to drain off the excess liquid and place directly into the pie shell.
• Pour the dry ingredients over the apples and dot with the butter.
• Pour the bourbon very carefully over the top.
• Lattice the top crust of the pie if desired, using extra bourbon on your fingers to moisten the pastry to keep it pliable and along the edges to seal.
• Bake at 425° for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° for another 15 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.
• Let sit before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 cup flour in medium bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in bacon.
• Place crust in 9-inch pie plate as directed on package for one-crust filled pie. Place apples in large bowl. Add granulated sugar, remaining flour, bourbon and vanilla; mix lightly Spoon into crust. Cut remaining butter into small pieces; place evenly over apples. Cover with crumb topping. Place on baking sheet.
• Bake 30 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF; bake 30 min. or until apples are tender. Cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups Bisquick mix and 1/4 cup softened butter with fork until crumbly. Add boiling water; stir vigorously with fork until dough forms. Gather into ball. Press firmly and evenly against bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate; flute edge.
• In medium bowl, gently stir together Filling ingredients. Spoon mixture evenly into crust.
• In small bowl, mix 1 cup Bisquick mix and the brown sugar. Cut in 3 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly (streusel will look dry). Sprinkle over filling.
• Bake 15 minutes. Cover top of pie with foil; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool 2 to 3 hours before serving.
• In small bowl, stir Bourbon Drizzle ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cooled pie (don't be tempted to drizzle over hot or very warm pie, or it will melt into streusel).

Steps:

• 1. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. 2. Mix apples and bourbon. 3. Add sugar mixture, pecans or walnuts, and raisins to apples and mix all together. 4. Line a greased, 9-inch pie plate with half the pastry. Paint the bottom with apricot glaze. Heap the apple mixture in the pastry**. Dot with butter. Roll out the remaining pastry, place on top of the apples, flute the edges, and cut vents in top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with a mixture of 1 egg plus 2 T cream and dust with sugar. 5. Bake 45 minutes or until the crust is browned and apples tender. (To keep the edges of the pie from getting too brown, cover them with 1-1/4 inch wide strips of foil; remove 15 min before end of baking time.) Hints: *To plump raisins: Cover with bourbon (or apple or orange juice) for a few hours or overnight. **Place the apples on the bottom pie crust with a slotted spoon, minimizing the amount of liquid transferred to the bottom of the pie. You may also spread 1/4 c of bread crumbs over the bottom crust before adding the apple mixture to minimize amount of liquid which accumulates in the bottom of the pie. This is the secret of a good apple pie.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and allspice. In a large straight-sided skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over high heat. Add half of fruit mixture and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until fruit is softened, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining 3 tablespoons butter and remaining fruit mixture, then return first batch of fruit mixture to pan. Stir in bourbon, then add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Divide fruit mixture among six 8-ounce round baking dishes (each 5 inches). Place on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out six 4-inch squares; place one over filling in each dish. Cut X-shaped vents in tops. Brush pastry with beaten egg. Bake until fillings are bubbling and crusts are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Cut pork shoulder into 2-inch chunks. Transfer to a stew pot. Add onion, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Pour in bourbon whiskey, apple cider vinegar, and apple juice. Stir to combine.
• Place over high heat and bring to a simmer; stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer until meat is fork-tender, about 2 hours.
• Use a spider strainer to transfer meat mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• Turn heat back to medium-high and reduce cooking liquid to about 75%, skimming the fat off of the top if desired.
• Reduce heat to low, stir in reserved pork, and use a potato masher to break pork into smaller pieces. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, to heat through and make sure pork absorbs sauce, 2 to 4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• For best results, refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Meanwhile, combine cabbage, peppers, green onions, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne for slaw in a large bowl. Mix very well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
• Reheat pork the next day over medium heat, stirring often. Stir in chopped chives.
• Mix mustard slaw well and drain off any excess moisture. Serve pork with mustard slaw on sesame seed buns.
