Food 4 Thought
Judaism is all about infusing the physical world with spiritual awareness. That’s one of the reasons the Jewish star, the main symbol of Judaism, is made up of two triangles, one pointed up and the other pointed down, one pointed towards the heavens (the spiritual) and one pointed towards the earth (the physical). When we choose to approach the very physical act of eating with spiritual attention we literally have the ability, as we have already seen, to change our lives and even the entire world.  Learn more about how to make eating more spiritual.

Instructions

  • Place a baking sheet in oven and preheat to 400.
  • Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 piece of dough; refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • For cinnamon-roll crust: Lay remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface and spread margarine evenly on top. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over margarine, and press gently to help mixture adhere. Roll pie dough into a tight log. Trim about 1 1/2 inches from both ends; cut remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  • Arrange pieces cut-side down in a snug circle on a piece of floured parchment paper. Dust with more flour. Gently roll it into a 10-inch round. Refrigerate until ready to assemble pie.
  • Peel and slice apples. Toss with lemon juice, vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour apples into the dough-lined pie plate.
  • Invert cinnamon-roll crust on top and peel off the parchment (it's OK if the individual rounds separate a bit in the process). Pinch crusts together; Brush with beaten egg.
  • Set pie on hot baking sheet in oven; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar and soymilk in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the pie.

Will all this fit into a 9” pie pan? I realize the accompanying photo is likely ai as it appears not only considerable larger (even with the angle), but is also in a tart tin.

I hesitate to make it, but hope you can offer clarification.
