Pie Crust
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
- Mix shortening, flour, and salt together with a fork or a pastry blender until very crumbly. Add as much water as needed to hold together, and mix lightly with a fork.
- Roll gently on a floured pastry cloth to about an inch larger than pie plate. Fold carefully in half, lift to pie plate, and unfold. Press into pan. For a single-crust pie, trim with a small knife to about 1/2 inch beyond rim. Fold up, and pinch so edge of pie is raised from rim.
Pie Filling
1 pie crust recipe
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown
sugar
8 Granny Smith apples
- peeled, cored and sliced
1/8 tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
- Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
- Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.
