How to Make Apple Blush Pie
- Prepare your favorite pie dough (or use a store-bought crust).
- Roll out the bottom crust and carefully line a 9-inch pie plate.
- Peel, core, and slice 5 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced). Place the apples in a large bowl.
- Add 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained), 1 cup crushed cinnamon hearts (reserve some whole for topping), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gently mix all ingredients until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie shell. Dot the top with 4 tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small pieces.
- Roll out the top crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and the apples are tender. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
