This bourbon apple pie is filled with flavor and texture. Chopped toasted pecans and raisins make it interesting, and the bourbon gives it "spirit." If you don't have bourbon, you may use whiskey. If you don't want to use alcohol, combine 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract with 6 tablespoons of water.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. Sugar
1 tbsp. Buttermilk
2 tsp. Pineapple preserves (melted)
1 Prepared pie pastry
1/2 cup pecans (chopped and toasted)
1/4 tsp. Ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. All-purpose flour
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
3 pounds Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup Kentucky bourbon
1/2 cup Raisins

Method

01

Combine raisins and bourbon; let soak for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Peel apples; cut into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange apple slices in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam 10 minutes, or until apple slices are tender.
02

Combine 3/4 cup sugar, the flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl; add apple slices, raisin mixture, and pecans, stirring well to combine.
03

Fit 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate; brush preserves over the pastry. Spoon apple filling mixture into pie crust.
04

Roll remaining pie crust out; cut out several leaf shapes, marking veins with a sharp knife. Arrange the pastry leaves over apple filling mixture; brush leaves with buttermilk or evaporated milk, and sprinkle pie with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
05

Bake at 450 °F on the lower rack of the oven for 15 minutes. Shield edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Reduce oven temperature to 350 °F and bake 30 to 35 minutes longer.
