Sweet Potato Souffle

In India the sweet potatoes are not orange, they are kind of yellow. We couldn't find any marshmellows or brown sugar so Marsha made a delicious Sweet Potato Souffle. Everybody loved it. So she is going to share:

64 g fat (24 g saturated)

Marie Callender's perpetrates the ultimate sleight of hand here: The nutrition information says this medium-size entrée has two servings, but honestly, when have you ever split a potpie? Lard-strewn pastry tops and cream-based fillings are the lowest common denominators of the nutritionally nefarious potpie, and this one, with an ingredient list that reads like an O-Chem final, beats out dozens of horrendous iterations to earn this special place on our list.

APPLE PIE

Apple pie sounds so good. I would just love a slice of pie and coffee right now!

DUTCH APPLE PIE

two crust pie, approximately 8 or 9 inches. (top and bottom)
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
4 ounces shortening chilled
2 1/2 ounces butter chilled but not frozen.
1/2 cup ice water or as needed
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 egg, slightly beaten
Combine the dry ingredients and mix. As you are mixing the dry ingredients add the shortening and butter until you get a pea like consistency with the dough. Add more butter if needed but do not go over 3 ounces for two crust or 1 1/2 ounces for single crust. Make sure the butter has been siting out of the fridge for 1/2 hour, it should be cold but workable, and that the shortening is chilled as well but not frozen or hard.

Next add the vinegar and beaten egg. Then slowly pour in the 1/2 cup ice water until the dough starts to come together. As soon as it comes together, stop adding the water and stop mixing. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 4 hours.

After the dough has rested, gently roll out on parchment slightly bigger than the pie plate and using the parchment paper, turn the dough over onto the pie plate. It's easiest if you put the plate onto the dough. If the parchment paper is on a piece of cardboard or cutting board, so much the easier. (If you are making a top and a bottom, roll out about 1/2 for the bottom. I'll give you directions for the top in a minute.)

Trim and crimp and don't forget to dock, that is fork, the dough well. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.

Dutchesque Apple Pie filling
6 Empire apples
1/3 - 1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons quick (minute) tapioca
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Dutch apple pie, core and peel the apples, I like to use Empire for this pie, and cut into 8-10 sections. Add about 1/3 a cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons tapioca, salt, lemon juice and cinnamon and toss together, taking care not to mush the apples.

Fill the prepared bottom with the filling. This pie needs to mound.

Roll out the dough and cover the pie, making sure to trim and crimp the edges together firmly so that the top will stick to the bottom. Use egg wash to moisten the top to stick the bottom and the top together. Use the same egg mixture as a wash on the top crust. Cut vents into the pie to allow steam to escape. Finally, sprinkle the top with brown sugar. (If you add 1/2 cup of heavy cream though the hole at the top, you get a real Dutch apple pie.)

Bake at 425F for 15 minutes and then continue baking at 375 for 35 - 40 minutes. When the crust is golden brown, it is done.

FRENCH APPLE PIE

single crust pie
1 cups AP flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons sugar
2 ounces shortening chilled
1 1/2 ounces butter chilled but not frozen.
1/4 cup ice water or as needed
1 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 egg (2 tablespoons), slightly beaten
Combine the dry ingredients and mix. As you are mixing the dry ingredients add the shortening and butter until you get a pea like consistency with the dough. Add more butter if needed but do not go over 3 ounces for two crust or 1 1/2 ounces for single crust.

French Apple Pie Filling
2 Empire
1 Fuji
2 Granny Smith
1 Rome
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 - 1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon Chinese five spices
2 tablespoons instant (minute) tapioca

The important part of this pie is to core the apple, do not peel, and slice very thinly. I like to use the 1mm setting on my Cuisinart to slice these apples. Make sure that as you slice them, add the lemon juice. You may use up to 2 T of lemon juice. And make sure the apples are well mixed. Then add the rest of the ingredients and gently toss the thinly sliced apples, mixing the ingredients.

Next, lay the apples in a spiral starting from the edge and working inward until you build up a big mound of apples slices. The bigger the better. Again, this is a mounding pie. Feel free to use 2 Rome apples if needed.

Cover the top with a generous amount of streusel topping. Combine 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup AP flour and 1/3 cup of butter. Mix till you get a nice crumbly topping.

Bake for 15 minutes at 425F and then lower to 375 and continue baking for 45 minutes or until the streusel topping is slightly browned.

No matter what pie you do, let cool on a rack before serving. You may serve this at room temperature or warm. Add some cinnamon ice cream and you have a favorite dessert here at the Arms.
