How To Prepare Churro Apple Pie?

[YoungMhal]

I recently saw a recipe for Churro Apple Pie, which combines the comforting flavors of classic apple pie with the warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness of churros. This crispy, sweet, and tangy pie really impressed me! Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:​

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons cold water (if needed)

For the Apple Filling:

• 6-7 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Churro Topping:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Crust:

• In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add cold water (one tablespoon at a time) and pulse until the dough begins to form. If necessary, add a little more water until the dough comes together.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

• In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
• Add the sugar mixture to the apples and toss to coat evenly. Set aside while you prepare the crust.

3. Assemble the Pie:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Roll out the chilled pie dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim any excess.
• Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

4. Bake the Pie:

• Roll out the remaining dough to create a lattice top, or if you prefer, simply cover the pie with a full crust and make a few slits for ventilation.
• Brush the top of the pie with an egg wash (beaten egg) to give it a golden finish.
• Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.

5. Prepare the Churro Topping:

• While the pie is baking, melt the butter and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the churro topping.
• Once the pie is out of the oven and still warm, brush the top crust with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

6. Serve:

• Allow the pie to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. The churro topping will add a crispy, sugary crust that complements the tender apple filling.
• Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion: The Churro Apple Pie is an innovative and indulgent twist on a classic, perfect for any gathering or special occasion!
