Easy Apple Pie displayed on my dinning room table set up for dessert
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup shortening 4 tablespoons cold water FILLING: 7 cups thinly sliced peeled baking apples 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon water
Directions
In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening. Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing lightly with a fork until dough forms a ball. Chill for 30 minutes. On a floured surface, roll half of dough into 10-in. circle. Place into a 9-in. pie pan.
In a bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; add to apples and toss. Pour into crust; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; cut slits in top. Place over filling; seal and flute edges. Beat egg yolk and water; brush over pastry. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F; bake 40-45 minutes more or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
Looks beautiful, I don't bake, I go to the Deli, but, I am sure yours is better. Wish I had a slice. Richard from My Old Historic House.
