Deepdishpueblopie Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, 4 tablespoons butter, the shortening, sugar and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Drizzle in the vodka and 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form each half into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
• Make the filling: Peel the apples and slice 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the sugar and lemon juice. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 15 to 18 minutes. Add the flour, heavy cream, cinnamon and salt and stir until the juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. (The filling can be made up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 13-inch round on a floured surface. Ease into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate. Add the filling, mounding it in the center; dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface. Lay the dough over the filling and press the edges together. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Cut a few slits in the top crust to let steam escape. Chill at least 1 hour.
• Set a baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Set the pie on the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F; bake until golden, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, rotating the pie as needed for even browning. (Cover the edge with foil if it is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool until set, about 3 hours.

Steps:

• For the crust: Put the flour, granulated sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until it looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is about the size of a pea. Add 4 tablespoon ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together but is still crumbly (add the remaining tablespoon water if necessary). Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one made from a third of the dough and the other from the remaining two-thirds of the dough. Form each into a disc and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• For the peach filling: Combine the peach wedges, light brown sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll the larger piece of dough into a 14-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
• Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into the pan, patting it in gently, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Pour in the filling.
• Roll out the other piece of dough into a 10-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick and place it over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim any excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
• Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the edge of the pan like a collar to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust and chill the pie 30 minutes.
• Place the pie on the foil-lined baking sheet and immediately reduce the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the pie for 1 hour. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with some granulated sugar. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes more. Let cool 1 hour, then carefully remove the edge of the pan. Let cool completely, about 1 more hour, before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease 10 inch round deep dish pan, skillet or crock pot.
• Arrange 1-2 tortillas to cover bottom of pan. Generously brush tortillas with 1/4 cup enchilada sauce.
• Spread beans over sauce and tortillas followed by half the onions and a third of the cheese.
• Place 2 more tortillas over cheese and again brush with 1/4 cup enchilada sauce.
• Evenly spread sour cream over sauce, place avocado slices over sour cream. Place a third layer of tortillas over avocados, again brush with enchilada sauce.
• Place sliced tomatoes, green chilies, remaining onion and a third of the cheese over tortillas and enchilada sauce. Top with remaining tortillas and spread remaining enchilada sauce to the edges, top with remaining cheese.
• Bake covered for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into wedges.
• If using this recipe in a crock pot cook on low for 2 hours approximately.
