2 Cup all-purpose flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
5 Tablespoon cold water
main
1/4 Cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
10 Granny Smith apples cut into thick wedges
Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 2

    Make the crust. In a food processor, add the flour, and salt, and pulse to combine. Add the butter a little at a time while pulsing. Once it starts to looks like cornmeal, add the water until dough starts to come together.

  • 3

    Form the dough into a round disc, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator.

  • 4

    While dough chills, place a pie dish or a 10-inch-round cake pan on the grill grates. Add butter and sugar to pie dish. Let it caramelize.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 5

    When the sugar caramelizes and has come to a dark amber color, remove it from the grill. Arrange the apple wedges in a fan formation covering the caramel.

  • 6

    Roll the pie crust into a circle large enough to cover the pan. Prick the pie dough with a fork and cover the pan with the pie dough. Trim the crust leaving room for shrinkage.

  • 7

    Place the pie dish on the grill grates, close the lid and bake until the apples are soft and crust is golden brown, 55 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

    Remove the pie dish from the grill, and let sit for 3 minutes. While pan is still hot, place a large plate over the pie and flip over. Serve warm, topped with ice cream or whipped cream, as desired. Enjoy!
