Awsome Apple Pie!

For The Crust;

(Hint if this is you first time making pie crust, make a double recipe)

Ingredients,

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 Tbs. Sugar

6 Tbs. Butter

6 Tbs shortening (I use Crisco and it works wonderfully)

6-8 Tbs of ice water

Utensils;

1 large mixing bowl

rolling pin

knife

measuring cups

dough blender - non electric (but i just use my hands)

cutting board

9 inch pie pan

Making The Crust;

Warm the butter in the microwave so that it is soft but not melted.

in the large bowl mix;

2 cusps of all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 Tbs. Sugar

Then cut in with the dough blender;

6 Tbs. butter

6 Tbs. Shortening

6-8 Tbs. ice water

Wrap the crust in plastic wrap and chill

in the refrigerator for 20 or more while you make your pie filling

Sweet Apple Pie Filling;

Ingredients;

5 tart peeled granny smith apples

1 cup of sugar

2 Tbs. Flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar

1 Tbs. lemon juice

Making the Filling;

Peel and slice your apples into thin wedges

soak in a bowl of water with the Tbs. of lemon juice

to prevent the odd color

In a large mixing bowl mix;

1 cup of sugar

2 Tbs. flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 Tbs. vinegar

Mix.

Now drain the apples and combine the two.

Remove your Dough from the fridge and cut it in half.

put one have back in the fridge and roll out

the other half to fit the pan.

Dump the apple mixture in the pan and roll out the 2nd

half of the dough. Cover the pie.

Tuck in the edges and use the back of a knife to make

impressions on the outside of the crust

Bake in the oven at 400 degrease for 50 - 60 mins.

(Tip, place cookie sheet on the bottom rack of the oven to

prevent any over flow from the pie)

When the pie is finished, brush egg whites on the edge

of the crust to give it that glossy effect.

Enjoy!
