eat & drink TASTE Sister Pie: The Recipes & Stories of a Big- Hearted Bakery in Detroit by Lisa Ludwinski (Lorena Jones Books, <strong>2018</strong>, $25) Seasonal Recipe <strong>and</strong> Beer Pairing APPLE SAGE GOUDA PIE The combination of fruit <strong>and</strong> cheese dates back to ancient times, <strong>and</strong> we’re keeping the tradition alive with this slightly savory apple pie. • *2 lbs. Northern Spy, Idared, or Golden Delicious apples, peeled <strong>and</strong> sliced • 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice • 3/4 cup granulated sugar • 2 tbsp. minced fresh sage • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar • 1/4 cup tapioca starch • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt • **1 disc Aged Gouda Pie Dough, rolled out <strong>and</strong> fitted into a 9-inch pie pan but uncrimped, <strong>and</strong> refrigerated • 6 lattice strips made with Aged Gouda Pie Dough, placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet <strong>and</strong> refrigerated • 1 tsp. turbinado sugar mixed with 1 tsp. allpurpose flour • 2 tbsp. (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, cubed <strong>and</strong> chilled • 1 large egg, beaten *Apple prep: Use a peeler to remove the skin from the apples. With a chef’s knife, slice each one along the core into four pieces. Set the pieces face down on a cutting board <strong>and</strong> cut each into 1/4-inch slices. **For the recipe, visit stylergbr.com. 1. Make the filling: Transfer the apples to a large mixing bowl <strong>and</strong> toss with the lemon juice. In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar <strong>and</strong> sage, massaging together with your fingertips. Add the brown sugar, tapioca starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, <strong>and</strong> salt. Add to the apples <strong>and</strong> Wine Steals Under $17 SIP ON THIS Producing over 30 varietals, including their signature Barbera, award-winning Boeger Winery was the first post-Prohibition winery in the El Dorado AVA <strong>and</strong> prides itself on advocating for farm life <strong>and</strong> agricultural rights.

Boeger Hangtown Gold Lot 18 ABV: 11% OVERALL RATING: 4 TASTING NOTES: Sweet but not cloying; drinkable; flavors of citrus, pear, <strong>and</strong> green apple; slightly floral aromas with a tart finish; light- to medium-bodied PRICE: $16 PURCHASE: Boeger Winery toss with your h<strong>and</strong>s until evenly distributed. 2. When you’re ready to assemble the pie, remove the unbaked crust <strong>and</strong> lattice strips from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the sugar-flour mixture all over the bottom of the crust. Layer the apples on top, being careful not to mound them in the center. Dot the apples with butter cubes. 3. Place one strip of lattice across the center of the pie. Take another strip <strong>and</strong> lay it on top, perpendicular to the first one, creating a cross. Lay the next two strips on either side of the first strip you laid down, so they are parallel to both each other <strong>and</strong> the original strip. Next, working with the original strip, fold back both ends toward the center, <strong>and</strong> then place the last two lattice strips down on either side of the second (perpendicular) strip. Fold the original strip back down, so that it lies across <strong>and</strong> on top of the newly placed strips. It should look like a woven lattice. 4. Tear off the ends of the lattice pieces so they’re flush with the perimeter of the tin. Roll the edge of the crust in, sealing the lattice. Crimp, being careful to push the crimps down <strong>and</strong> into the pie, as opposed to keeping them too loose on the edge. Put the assembled pie in the freezer for a 15-minute rest. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 5. Remove the pie from the freezer, place on the baking sheet, <strong>and</strong> brush the lattice <strong>and</strong> crimped edge with the beaten egg. Transfer the baking sheet with the pie on it to the oven <strong>and</strong> bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is evenly golden brown. Turn the temperature down to 325°F <strong>and</strong> continue to bake for 50-70 minutes, until the pie juices are bubbling in the center. 6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven <strong>and</strong> transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool for 4-6 hours. When the pie is at room temperature, slice it into 6-8 pieces <strong>and</strong> serve. Store leftover pie, well wrapped in plastic wrap or under a pie dome, at room temperature for up to two days. Makes one, nine-inch pie. Boeger Hangtown Red Lot 56 ABV: 15% OVERALL RATING: 5 TASTING NOTES: Earthy, bold, <strong>and</strong> luscious; perfect blend of Zinf<strong>and</strong>el, Pinot Noir, Barbera, Mouvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Petit Sirah; ripe <strong>and</strong> rich flavors of black cherry, plum, <strong>and</strong> mocha; smooth finish PRICE: $12 PURCHASE: Boeger Winery OVERALL RATING is the average score (out of 5) given by <strong>Style</strong> staff tasters. Ratings should be taken with a grain of salt, as we are by no means “experts”—just hard-working employees who enjoy imbibing. Pairs with AMADOR BREWING COMPANY’S ALTBIER ABV: 6.3% Amador Brewing Company’s delightfully malty Altbier is everything a Northern German amber beer should be: light in color, full-bodied, <strong>and</strong> layered with a distinct caramel taste <strong>and</strong> mild bready flavor. It finishes dry with a tangy, slightly spicy bitterness from the noble hops. Its delicate flavor pairs perfectly with the pie’s buttery, nutty Gouda; while the malty notes help soak some of the apple’s sweetness right up. —Laura Ziegler, 36 H<strong>and</strong>les 80 stylergbr.com // OCTOBER <strong>2018</strong> // /stylergbr /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemagrgbr Reprinted with permission from Sister Pie, copyright © <strong>2018</strong>.
