  • Arrange Apples in pie dish, fitted with prepared dough, evenly.
    Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes. You want the apples to hold their shape but be soft enough to pierce, easily, with a fork.

Swiss Meringue

  • In a heat proof bowl combine egg whites, sugar and kosher salt.
    Place bowl over a suacepan with simmering water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water and that the water is just simmering, not boiling.
    Whisk until sugar is fully dissolved and is just warm to the touch. If you rub the mixture between your fingers there should be no grit.
  • Pour all egg mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with whisk attachment.
    Whisk at low-medium speed until foamy and starting to cool off.
    Add vanilla and increase speed.
  • Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form.
    Pile onto apple pie and smooth out.
    With a kitchen torch, lightly caramelize the top to a nice golden brown.
    Serve warm or at room temperature.
    If you don't hae a kitchen torch, you can place the wole pie under the broiler. Just be sure to watch it. Sugar burns very quickly!
