directions

  • Preparing the crust:

  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter and shortening into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
  • Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until a dough forms.
  • Divide dough in half; shape each half into a disk.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
  • Making the filling:

  • Place oven rack in lowest position.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Assembling the pie:

  • On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll half of dough into an 11-inch circle.
  • Fit into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Spoon filling into pan.
  • Dot with butter pieces.
  • Roll remaining dough into a 10-inch circle.
  • Cut into 1/2 inch strips.
  • To form a lattice crust, arrange 2 dough strips in a cross pattern in center of pie.
  • Ends of strips should overlap edges of bottom crust.
  • Alternately weave strips into a lattice pattern until filling is covered.
  • Brush crust with egg.
  • Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 40 minutes.

  2. This crust tastes amazing. I've tried a few recipes and this is hands down the best.
     
  3. I make this all the time and it is gone in one day or less. My family just loves it and I love to make it. It is a lot of work to do that lattice but it is great.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a happily almost divorced mother of 3 grown adults and grandmother of 6 beautiful children. I really enjoy cooking but I hate it when I cook something different and no one likes it so I'm very picky with my recipes. I'm very sensitive to criticism, but I'm working on that and using it constructively so that I won't make the same mistakes anymore, LOL! My hobbies besides cooking are traveling to the beach, reading and surfing the net for new recipes which is how I found Recipezarr. Since being on this site, I very seldom venture to any other. Well, who would need to? LOL!
