Ozark Pie

Submitted by ratherbeswimmin

"This pie forms its own bottom and top crust so it is sort of like a pie/cake. Makes a fairly shallow pie so to make it higher, bake in a 9-inch pan and increase baking time 5-8 minutes."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 118.29 ml sugar
• 59.14 ml firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2.46 ml vanilla extract
• 118.29 ml all-purpose flour, plus
• 14.79 ml all-purpose flour
• 22.18 ml baking powder
• 2.46 ml ground cinnamon
• 1.23 ml ground nutmeg
• 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
• 118.29 ml chopped pecans or 118.29 ml walnuts
• fresh whipped cream

directions

1. Butter a 9 1/2 inch deep dish pie pan; set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, sugar, and brown sugar; beat, using an electric mixer, for 2 minutes or until light and airy; blend in vanilla.
3. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir into the batter along with the apple and nuts.
4. Transfer mixture into prepared pie pan; smoothing the top to even out.
5. Place pie on the center rack of a 350° oven; bake about 30 minutes or until the top is a dark golden brown and crusted over; the apples will most likely be visible through the crust.
6. Place pie on a wire rack and let cool.
7. Serve barely warm or at room temperature, garnished with whipped cream.

Very tasty! It's pretty sweet and kind of hard to get out of the pan. LOL I used 2 whole eggs so I wouldn't have a lonley egg white floating around and I used 2 apples b/c I like apples. I don't know if that made a difference in getting it out of the dish or not but it was very yummy reguardless. :)

You may call it a pie/cake but we've renamed it the piecake cookie. The crust it formed is absolutely delicious. Made for the July Challenge: Cobblers - Pies - Tarts
