mmmmmmm pie. Just out of the oven! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Combine first 17 ingredients in heavy large saucepan or Dutch oven. Cook over low heat until apples are very tender and mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool filling completely. (Can be prepared up to 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Roll out 1 pie crust disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch-diameter round (about 1/8 inch thick). Roll out dough on saran wrap and transferring it to the pan is a snap. Gently press into place. Trim edges of crust, leaving 3/4-inch overhang. Fold overhang under crust so that crust is flush with edge of pie pan. Crimp edges with fork to make decorative border. Spoon filling into crustlined pan, gently pressing flat. Roll out second disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Place it over whole pie. Tighten up the edges. Brush crust with buttermilk. Bake until crust is golden brown and mince bubbles, about 40 minutes. Cool completely. |
