I just found this while searching for “mock apple pie” … I am really stunned that it won. Wow. And your presentation is fabulous – I love the crust! While I like Steingarten, he is indeed “the man who ate everything” so it’s hard to tell what is good and what is bad.

Wow! This is pretty amazing…a mock apple pie. Who would have thought that Ritz can trick our taste bud into believing that it is an apple filling. I must try it…thanks Pete.

Orchid, please, didn’t your mother ever tell you the adage about not saying anything if you can’t find anything nice to say? Besides, you should see the way kids text these days!

Checking this out at your ‘best recipes’ posting, and had a few thoughts:

1) It’s normal for pie juices to boil out, however

2) One way to not lose as much, and to prevent deflation is to precook the apples.

3) You might also try pre-cooking the crust for 10 minutes, weighted down with either beans or pie weights on a layer of parchment or foil (to prevent soggy bottom crust) and then really mounding on the apples.

4) Also, corn starch (or starches from tapioca, potato or arrowroot) can help the flour in thickening the filling.

5) Good, in-season baking apples are key. Get thee to a farmer’s market!

[...] fruit empanadas. the filling is cooked ahead of time and then wrapped inside a simple pastry dough. apple pie is my all time favorite, and the filling is so good that it’s hard to not just dump it all on a big bowl of vanilla [...]
