"Gordon Ramsay's experience as a chef comes from a mixture of running Michelin-starred restaurants and more casual-style places, as well as appearing on numerous television shows that showcase his bombastic personality. One thing is for sure, he doesn't mind being bold. A good thing, too, as it turns out he has his own take on American apple pie, which many might find controverisal."
"Although pies and tarts have plenty in common, the dough for the crust is distinct in both preparation and final texture. A pie crust recipe usually calls for cold butter and iced water worked into flour for a dough that becomes flaky when baked. Tart crusts such as Ramsay's use softened butter, eggs and sugar to achieve a sweet crust with a crumbly, crispy finish."
"Gordon Ramsay's pie recipe might have you eager to get into the kitchen and try it for yourself, but there are a few things you need to be aware of first. This tart crust comes together much more easily than a pie dough, but it can be more fiddly to work with. If you had any plans for complex lattice work, then choose a different crust for your pie."
Gordon Ramsay's apple pie uses a tart crust instead of a traditional flaky pie crust. The tart dough relies on softened butter, eggs, and sugar for a sweet, crumbly, crispy finish rather than cold butter and iced water that create flakiness. The crust comes together quickly in a food processor by blitzing butter and sugar, adding egg and flour, then dividing two-thirds for the bottom and the rest for the top. The tart crust is easier to assemble than pie dough but can be fiddly to work with and is unsuitable for complex lattice designs.
