Classic apple pie recipe. Delicious!
Ingredients:
For the pie
- 1 1/2 c All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 ts Salt
- 1/2 c Shortening
- 5 tb ICE Water
- 8 c Apples [peeled & sliced]
- 1/4 c Granulated Sugar
- 2 tb All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 ts Nutmeg, Ground
- 2 tb Lemon Juice
- 1 ts Cinnamon, Ground
For the topping
- 1/2 c Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 c All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 c Butter
- 1 lg Paper Bag
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
To make the pie:
1) Combine the first measure of flour, salt and shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and form the dough into a ball.
2) Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to an 11″ or 12″ diameter and fit into a 9″ pie pan fluting the edges.
3) Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the lemon juice in a large bowl then toss the apple slices in the mixture and arrange them in the pie crust.
To make the topping:
4) Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter then sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
5) Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag and place the paper bag on a baking sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under. Bake until the apples are tender (50-60 minutes).
6) Carefully remove the pie from the bag (CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG!)
7) Serve warm with generous portions of vanilla ice cream.
