My Bubby Czarna z”l, whom I called Bubby Bagel, made the best apple pie in the entire world. This is an adapted version, made in mini format. These freeze beautifully.
6 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples (McIntosh)
3/4 cup white sugar
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Tapioca Starch
5 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla
1 egg
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Manischewitz Kosher Salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix together apples, sugar, lemon juice and tapioca starch. Divide evenly into three- to three- and- a- half-inch ramekins.
Mix together all dough ingredients and flatten dough on floured Gefen Parchment with your hands (you don’t need a rolling pin – this dough is fabulous to work with). Use an extra ramekin to cut out 10 circles of dough. Place over each apple filling. Cut an X in the middle of each pie, making sure to push apart the dough a bit – this allows moisture to escape.
Mix together cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle on top of each pie.
Bake for about 40 minutes. Enjoy warm or cool – these are delicious topped with ice cream.
