Filling:

8-10 granny smith apples (enough to fill about 3/4ths of the dish)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

Juice of 2 lemons, divided

1 tbsp. corn starch

Topping:

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 ¼ cup melted butter (2 ½ sticks)

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 350F and place the rack in the center of the oven.

Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut into 1/8” slices and place in a large bowl. Drizzle the juice from 1 lemon over the apples, toss together. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the apples.

In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and the juice from the other lemon. Pour over the apples and mix together.

Pour all of the apples into the large ֵ羺 Modern Classics Rectangular Baker.

Put the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Melt the butter in the microwave. Pour the butter into the bowl and mix on low.

Mix to form crumbly dough. The dough will be kind of sandy, but should hold together when pressed, if it doesn’t, add a little bit more flour.

Grab a handful of dough and press together forming a palm-sized disk. The disks should be ¼ inch to ½ inch thick.

Place the disks on top of the apples.

Put into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is nicely browned and the filling is bubbly.

Remove from the oven, let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 lemon, zested & juiced

1 teaspoon salt

Powdered sugar, for dusting

PROCEDURE

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Set bowl aside. Separate eggs yolks from whites into two small bowls. In a stand mixer beat the egg whites on a 10 for 2 to 3 minutes until they form stiff white peaks. You may also hand whisk the egg whites.

In a large bowl, whisk together milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth like silk. Slowly whisk in dry ingredients with the wet until the batter is smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the egg whites slowly and carefully. Do not over mix.

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

5 ½ cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

1 cup pecan pieces, lightly toasted

1 cup chopped almonds, lightly toasted

Instructions:

Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, mix, and let sit for 10 minutes.

Stir in the honey, oil, and salt.

Add the flour, a cup at a time, until you no longer can integrate any more flour.

Turn the dough out onto a counter with the remainder of the flour. Knead the dough until you form a smooth and satiny ball. If needed wet your hands if the dough needs a little bit more water to come together.

Put the dough into a bowl and drizzle with a tablespoon of oil; turn the dough to coat it with the oil.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Gently deflate the dough and knead in the nuts.

Lightly flour your counter top and shape the dough into an oblong oval loaf.

Cover the loaf with damp towels and let rise for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Using a serrated knife, make 3 slashes across the top of the loaf about 1" deep.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until it well browned and the internal temperature is 190F.

Cool on rack and let sit for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
