Spiced Bourbon Peach-Apple Pie

Spiced Bourbon Peach-Apple Pie

If you have been reading these posts you know I cook a lot with alcohol.  That’s how I learned to cook and still do today.

I found this recipe and though it would make a nice of pace instead of basic apple pie. Don’t get me wrong I love apple pie, but if I make pies for the holidays I want to make them special and I think this pie fills the bill.

Here is how to make it:

Spiced Bourbon Peach-Apple Pie

INGREDIENTS

1 pie crust

1/3 cup butter

5 granny smith apples, cored, peeled, and sliced thin

2 (16 ounce) packages frozen peaches or fresh peaches (dollar tree with the freezer cases usually have frozen peaches)

1/4 cup bourbon

2/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon apple pie spice

1/3 cup flour

1 egg

1/3 cup caramel sauce (also can be purchased at the dollar tree)

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add peaches, bourbon, sugar, and apple pie spice. Sprinkle with flour and stir together well as the mixture begins to heat and thicken.

Pour peach mixture into the pie tin lined with crust.

Place the second piece of pie crust over the filling, use a knife to trim the edges of the pie crust (set these trimming aside for decorating the top of the pie). Slice a small circle in the center of the pie to vent, then press the edges of the top and bottom pie crusts together.

Crack egg into a small bowl. Whisk until well beaten, then use a basting brush to coat the top of the pie with the beaten egg.

Roll the extra pieces of pie crust together until 1/8 sprinkle with a little sugar, if desired. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pie crust turns a medium golden brown. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

I believe you will enjoy this pie and so will your guests.
