Puff Pastry

Oat Streusel

Dulce de Leche Sauce

Salted Caramel Gelato

Fresh Apple Garnish

Method

Puff Pastry Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Puff Pastry

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place one sheet in the bottom of the dish and trim any excess.

  2. 2

    Chill the Pastry

    Place the pastry-lined pie dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Apple Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Apples

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, bourbon, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Fill the Pie

    Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and fill it with the apple mixture, spreading it evenly.

Oat Streusel Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Streusel

    In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until crumbly.

  2. 6

    Top the Pie

    Sprinkle the oat streusel mixture generously over the apple filling.

Baking the Pie

  1. 7

    Bake

    Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the streusel is golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a knife; the apples should be tender.

  2. 8

    Cool the Pie

    Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Serving the Pie

  1. 9

    Serve with Sauce

    Drizzle dulce de leche sauce over each slice of pie when serving.

  2. 10

    Add Gelato

    Top each slice with a scoop of salted caramel gelato and garnish with fresh apple slices.
