ORANGE AND SPICE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Blend flour, butter, sugar and salt in processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yolk, 3 tablespoons ice water and orange peel. Process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch glass pie dish. Trim overhang to 3/4 inch; fold under and press into 1/2-inch-high standing rim. Using scissors, make diagonal cuts in dough rim at 1/2-inch intervals; press cut rim pieces alternately in and out. Pierce crust (not dough rim) all over with fork. Freeze crust 30 minutes.
• Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust edge is dry and set, about 12 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until lightly colored, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 8 minutes. Transfer crust to rack and cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Make filling:
• Whisk first 10 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Pour into prepared crust.
• Gently cover crust edge with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake until filling puffs and begins to split at edges and is just set in center, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool pie on rack. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Top pie with whipped cream and orange peel strips, if desired. Serve cold or at room temperature.

DEEP DISH APPLE & ORANGE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius Grate zest from orange and squeeze the juice. Add some water to the juice to make up 7 tbsp liquid.
• In a processor, mix the butter with the flour and zest until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough orange juice to make the pastry. Roll the pastry in a ball and refrigerate.
• Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon and orange zest together. Now toss the apples in this mixture but don't do this too much in advance or the sugar will draw out the juices of the apple.
• Grease a 9 inch and 2 inch deep pie dish. Roll out 2/3 of the pastry on a floured surface. Line the dish with the pastry and leave some pastry overhanging.
• Pile the apples in the dish and press down slightly. Don't worry if it seems too high, they will 'fall' as they cook. Brush the overhanging pastry with water.
• Roll out the remaining Pastry and place on top, press slightly to stick to the overhanging pastry. Use scissors or knife to trim and neaten the edges but still leave them higher than the edge of the dish.
• Pinch the edges together, then using your fingers form flutes, keeping them well spaced. Make two slits on top of the pie.
• Brush the top of the pie with the egg whites and the sugar. Bake for 35 minutes, lower the heat to 140 degrees C for a furter 10 minutes until the apples are soft anf the pastry is golden.
