Lattice-Topped Apple Pie

Apple pie has never been so quick to put together! Toss unpeeled apples and spices in a dish. Then make a quick lattice by topping the apple mixture with pastry strips, rather than weaving a traditional lattice.

  • 6 cups sliced cooking apples, such as Jonathan or Rome Beauty (about 2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 recipe Whole Wheat Pastry (see recipe below)
  • Fat-free milk

1. In a 2-quart rectangular baking dish, arrange apples; set aside. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 teaspoon of the mixture. Stir cornstarch into remaining sugar mixture. Sprinkle cornstarch mixture onto apples; toss to combine.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, flatten Whole Wheat Pastry dough. Roll dough from center to edges into a 10x5-inch rectangle. Cut pastry lengthwise into nine 1/2-inch-wide strips. Carefully place 4 pastry strips lengthwise over apples, place remaining 5 pastry strips crosswise over the apples, spacing strips evenly to form a lattice-style crust. Trim pastry strips; tuck ends into dish. Brush pastry with milk, sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture.

3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm or cool. Makes 8 (2/3-cup) servings.

  • 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons cold water

1. In a medium bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, toasted wheat germ, and ground nutmeg. Use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of mixture; toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time until moistened. Form dough into a ball.
