Apple Pie – by Ken Haedrich, founder and “Dean” of The Pie Academy – is a delectable showcase for the one pie everybody loves and few of us could imagine doing without.
Haedrich – a past winner of The Julia Child Cookbook award and one of America’s foremost baking authorities – first fell in love with apple pie as a boy, watching his mom and dad bake on Sunday afternoons.
Apple Pie pays tribute to the flaky, double-crust apple pies Ken grew up on. But there’s a lot more in store for you in the book’s 250 pages.
Haedrich is a big fan of crumb-topped pies, and the book is full of them.
For instance? Well, there’s Apple Pear Crumb Pie, with a surprise of fresh ginger. And an All-Granny Pecan Crumb Crust Pie with a sweet-tart filling and brown sugary topping that’s to-die-for. We seriously doubt you’ve ever tasted anything so swoon-inducing as his Vanilla Bean Apple Cherry Pie, with a whole vanilla bean baked right in the filling!
Haedrich’s standout apple pies feature everything from a cobbler-like topping, to a Cheddar cheese laced crust and a dark and spicy gingerbread topping. He has a knack for spinning down-home variations – like his Farm-Style Buttermilk Pie with Fried Apple Rings – that you never imagined, and can’t imagine doing without once you’ve tried them.
Sprinkled throughout this 100-recipe collection is detailed information on making the best pie pastry; several pages devoted to choosing the right apple varieties for your pies; and dozens of informative and entertaining sidebars to enhance your understanding of the pie making process.
Don’t let another pie making season pass you by without getting a copy of this cookbook classic that belongs on every home pie maker’s shelf.
Ken will be happy to inscribe the book for you. (Just use the form on the order page to indicate whom the book is for an how you’d like it inscribed.)
