INGREDIENTS

PIE CRUST

• 1 c butter-flavored shortening
• 2 1/2 c flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c cold water use ice if necessary
• 1 TB apple cider vinegar

APPLE FILLING INGREDIENTS

• 6-8 high quality apples we prefer Gala and Granny Smith
• 3/4 c sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 3 TB cornstarch
• 1 c unfiltered apple cider the jugs sold in the fall are the best, but apple juice works as well
• 2 TB bottled lemon juice

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS

• whole milk
• coarse/turbinado sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Begin by making your crust. Stir the flour and salt together. Gently blend the shortening into the flour mixture with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly and chunky. When coarsely mixed, set this mixture aside.
2. Beat the egg and cold water together. Add the apple cider vinegar to the egg mixture. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and lightly fold them together. Let it sit for a few minutes to let the water start to absorb. Using your hands again, mix until a dough forms. If it is still too crumbly to become cohesive, add an additional 1-3 tablespoons of cold water. Be careful to not over mix as over working pie crust makes it tough, or add too much water because the dough will become too sticky. When it becomes a workable dough, check to make sure you can see marbling from the shortening—if you can, you’re going to have a yummy, flaky crust.
