Ingredients for Apple Florentine Recipe
6 Large apples
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Grated lemon rind
1 Egg yolk for glazing
2 c Ale
1/2 ts Powdered nutmeg
1 Stick of cinnamon
2 Cloves
Apple Florentine Preparation
Peel and core the apples. Put close together in a deep 10 inch pie dish and sprinkle with six tablespoons sugar mixed with the lemon rind. Pour in 3 tablespoons water. Roll out pastry 1/4 thick and cover apples. Make a 1 inch wide hole in the center of the pastry and put a small collar of pastry around it, wetting it slightly with cold water to join. Brush pie with egg yolk beaten with 2 teaspoons cold water. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 30-35 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the ale, remaining sugar, and spices slowly to the boiling point, but do not boil; let spices steep in hot ale. When apple pie is done, pour hot ale into center hold through a funnel and serve immediately. Note: Whole apples go into the deep-dish pie that warms many an Englishman, especially in Bedfordshire, at Christmas. As the name suggests, Apple Florentine has Italian origins, though the Resaissance pope for whom it was occasionally prepared never knew the special savor of well-spiced ale that English cooks consder an indispensible part of the recipe.
