Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes (4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (unsifted)
- 3 pounds apples (6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced, about 3 pounds)
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place potatoes in a 3-quart pan. Cover with water; add salt. Bring to a boil; cook until fork-tender - 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, granulated sugar and ginger. Cool 25 minutes.
-
Step 2: Preheat oven to 425 F. Coat 8-inch deep dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Step 3: Stir flour into potato mixture, forming a soft dough. Turn out onto floured surface; form into a round. Divide in half. Place one half between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll into an 11-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove top sheet of plastic; invert into prepared pie plate. Add apples.
-
Step 4: Roll out remaining half of dough and cover pie. Crimp edges of dough together; make 4 slits in top. Bake until lightly browned - about 25 minutes.
-
Step 5: Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with brown sugar.
-
Step 6: Remove pie from oven. Cut a 2-inch circle in center of pastry. Remove circle; pour in brown sugar mixture. Replace circle and return pie to oven. Bake 20 minutes more.
-
Step 7: Cool slightly before cutting and serving.
