About the Recipe: How can you make a pie even better? When you see this pie, you just know something is different. It’s wavy with some crust edges up; other down. The filling is creamy with caramel pecan goodness peeking out from little cracks – just to tease you. There is almost no way to describe what a smash can do – it’s flavor blending at its best.
Recipe: Inspired by Chef Massimo Bottura Italy 2012 – Signature Dish – Oops! I Dropped the Lemon Tart
Signature Recipe and Story can be found on p. 236 and p. 421 in Signature Dishes That Matter book.
Have Some Fun – Let the Pie Cool, then Smash the Pie Before Serving: Take a heavy jar or can with 2-1/2-inch bottom, make four light smashes around pie. Do not smash the crust on the edge or center of the pie. The pie will have a crust and apple cream wavy look.
Yield: serves about 6 to 8 slices
