“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them. |

1. For pie crust, sift flour and salt into large bowl. Cut in butter
and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add orange
rind. Sprinkle in juice and water,. 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing
with fork until flour is moistened and soft dough forms. Shape into
ball. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour.
2. For crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and
ginger. Work in butter with fingers until mixture is crumbly.
3. For filling, peel core and cut apples into 1/2-inch slices. Put
slices in large bowl; toss with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons flour. Add
sugar, cinnamon, orange rind, vanilla extract, nutmeg and salt. Stir
in honey; let stand 1 hour.
4. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Roll half of dough into a circle; fit in
metal, 9-inch pie pan. Trim edge. Drain liquid from apples, reserve.
Set 1/4 cup of the crumb topping aside. Layer apples with remaining
crumbs in dough-lined pan. Use crumbs like mortar to build fruit up.
Dot apples with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with 5 tablespoons
reserved apple liquid.
5. Roll out remaining dough; cut with knife or fluted pastry wheel
into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into lattice over fruit. Seal
strips at edge of pan, moistening with apple liquid. Flute edge.
Sprinkle reserved crumbs in holes of lattice. Brush only crust edge
and strips with beaten egg.
6. Bake on foil-lined baking sheet at 450 degrees, 5 minutes. Reduce
oven temperature to 350 degrees; bake until apples are tender, 50 to
55 more minutes (or only 40 minutes if you like crunchier apples).
Cool on wire rack to room temperature.
NOTE: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream flavored with
vanilla sugar and orange-flavored liqueur.
