Ingredients

Ingredients List
  • cooking spray

  • 4 apples - peeled, cored and sliced, peel reserved

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup light brown sugar

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup brandy

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie

  • ½ (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 4 nectarines, peeled and sliced


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

  2. Combine apple peels, white sugar, brown sugar, water, brandy, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and simmer until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove apple peels with a fork.

  3. Roll 1 crust into a 12-inch circle; place in the prepared pie plate. Roll out second crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut a few slits in the center to vent steam.

  4. Mix corn muffin mix and milk in a bowl. Pour into pie plate.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Layer apple slices and nectarine slices on top. Pour sugar mixture slowly over fruit; cover with second crust. Press crusts together to seal; flute edges.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until top crust is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before slicing, about 1 hour.

Tips

Cook's Notes:

I used a mixture of Gala, Golden Supreme, and Empire apples. Save the skins for another use!

Make sure the nectarines (white or yellow flesh) are still slightly firm.

I prefer to use Kraken Black Spiced Rum(R) in this pie.
