Triple Berry Apple Hand Pie Food

CAFE HON'S MIXED BERRY PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Process the flour, salt, shortening and butter in a food processor until you get the visual consistency of fine meal.
• Place the fine meal into a bowl. With a fork make a hole in the meal. Pour the ice water in the hole and gently mix the water into the fine meal. Continue this process until the fine meal has the consistency of play dough.
• Flour your board and rolling pin, and then roll out the dough. Divide the dough in half and roll out dough for a 2 crust 9-inch pie.
• For the filling: If using frozen fruit, measure first, then thaw and drain fruit.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon, stir with fork. Place 1 crust into the pie pan. Spread 1/3 of the sugar mixture on the bottom and add fruit. Top the mixed berries with the rest of the sugar mixture. Wet the edges of the bottom crust by dipping your finger in the ice water and rubbing it around the edge of the crust. Place the top crust on the pie and gently press the top crust to the bottom. Trim with a knife and roll under. Press together with the thumb and forefinger to make a scalloped edge. With the knife, place 8 1/2-inch slits on the top of the pie. Bake for 45 minutes. When checking the doneness of the filling, insert a knife into the center of the pie. If there is little or no resistance, the pie is done.

TRIPLE BERRY PIE WITH GRANOLA CRUNCHY CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven. Put the pie shell on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the berries with the lemon zest and juice, the sugar and instant tapioca. Stir together to completely combine and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and brown sugar. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the granola.
• Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust and top with the granola crumb topping. Bake until the inside of the pie is bubbling and the top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. (If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.) Remove from the oven and cool at least 1 hour on a wire cooling rack before serving.
• Combine the whipped topping and maple syrup and mix until well blended. Serve with the pie.

THREE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

BERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: On a floured surface, roll out each disk of dough into a 10-inch square, each about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 disks from each piece of dough. Transfer disks to a baking sheet (it's OK if they overlap slightly), cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 10 minutes.
• Prepare the berry filling: In a medium bowl, combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and sea salt. Stir gently until evenly coated, then set aside.
• Remove the disks from the refrigerator and lightly brush the edges of each disk with the egg wash. Spoon about 1/4 cup berry filling onto each disk, leaving a 1-inch border around the rim. (You might have some extra filling.)
• Working with one disk at a time, leaving one half of the dough on the baking sheet, gently fold the other half of each round of dough over the filling to make a half circle and press the edges together with your fingers to seal. If any of the filling is oozing out of the sides, remove a few berries at a time until the hand pie seals easily. Using a fork, crimp the rounded edge of each hand pie. Repeat with remaining disks.
• Cover the hand pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to set the crusts. Refrigerate the remaining egg wash.
• When you are ready to bake, position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove the hand pies from the refrigerator and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Using a paring knife, cut 3 small slits in the top of each hand pie to create steam vents. Transfer the hand pies to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the hand pies are golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
• The hand pies can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

APPLE-BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one crust, and place in a 9 inch pie plate. Roll out top crust, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Add blackberries and apple slices. Toss gently to coat without mashing the berries. Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Spoon filling into pastry lined pan. Dot with butter. Moisten the edge of the pastry with water. Cover with top crust; trim and crimp edge. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape during baking. Cover edge with foil to prevent over-browning.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

TRIPLE BERRY MINI PIES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup blueberries, raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Cook and stir until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in strawberries, butter and remaining 1 cup blueberries. Transfer berry mixture to a bowl; cool to room temperature., Preheat oven to 425°. On a work surface, unroll crusts. Cut 8 circles with a 4-in. biscuit or cookie cutter. Press crusts onto bottom and up sides of ungreased muffin cups. Spoon berry mixture into muffin cups. Bake until filling is bubbly and crust golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.

TRIPLE BERRY APPLE HAND PIE

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 400°F Coat large cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Prepare recipe for double crust pie. Divide in half. Roll out one half into a 10-inch circle. Place on cookie sheet. Score lightly with a knife to divide into 6 equal wedge shapes. Roll out other half of dough into an 11-inch circle.
• STIR together preserves, cornstarch and cinnamon in medium bowl. Stir in raspberries. Spoon 2 tablespoons in center area of each wedge. Top with 1 tablespoon chopped apple. Brush water on dough between wedges. Place the 11-inch circle of dough on top. Press down to seal between wedges. Press dough with fork along outside edge of pie to seal. Brush top of pie with 1 teaspoon milk. Cut small vents in top of pie to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with sugar.
• BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 20 minutes on wire rack. Blend powdered sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons milk in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over top of crust. Cut into wedges and serve.

APPLE-BERRY TWIST PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add 2 tablespoons butter; pulse a few times until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the cream cheese; pulse a few more times until the dough just comes together. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon ice water; pulse a few times until the dough is moist. Divide the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap. Shape each into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel the apples and slice about 1/4 inch thick; toss with the berries, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla, butter and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself. Add the filling. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into an 8-inch round on a lightly floured surface; slice into 12 strips. Brush the strips with some of the beaten egg. One at a time, twist the strips of dough and, working from the center of the pie outward, arrange the strips on the pie to make one continuous coil.
• Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 55 more minutes. (Tent with foil if the crust browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
