Disney has some amazing dessert recipes. While I haven't yet tried all of them in the parks and resorts, I love it when I have the chance to try them at home. It's also a good way to bring home the magic when you can't go to the parks. This recipe for apple pie is from the Whispering Canyon Café in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Apple Pie from Whispering Canyon Café
Makes one 9-inch pie
Pie Crust
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup shortening
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1/3 cup 2% milk
Combine butter, shortening, flour, sugar, and salt in bowl of electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed until crumbly. Add milk and mix until incorporated. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness and place in 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
Apples
1 cup water
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
Bring water to simmer in large pot. Place apples in a steamer basket and add to pot. Steam for 10 minutes. Remove from water. Cool to room temperature and toss with apple pie spice.
Apple Pie Batter
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
Cream butter and sugar in bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add eggs and mix until just incorporated. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Slowly add to mixer and beat on medium speed until combined. Add cream and mix until smooth. Set aside until ready to bake.
To make the pie:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 1/2 cup apple pie batter on top of pie crust, spread until smooth. Top with apples and remaining apple pie batter. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20 more minutes, until golden brown. Cool to room temperature before serving. If desired, top pie with sliced almonds and dust with confectioners’ sugar once cooled.
