Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shortening
- 6 tablespoons water
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Peel, core and slice apples.
- In a large bowl, combine apple slices, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cut shortening into flour using a pastry blender. Add chilled water, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until dough forms into a ball. If it does not, use hands to form a ball.
- Divide dough in half and roll out one piece, using a rolling pin and additional flour as needed. Place in a 9" pie pan.
- Stir apple pie filling and pour into pie shell.
- Using 1 tablespoon pats, place butter all around pie filling, evenly dispersed.
- Roll out the other 1/2 of dough. Place on top of apple pie filling, making sure edges of pie are covered.
- Using a sharp knife, make four 1” cuts around the top of the pie crust for air to escape while baking.
- Place pie in oven on a jellyroll pan to catch juice from pie while baking.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until crust is golden brown.
Helpful hints
- Suggested varieties of apples for a great tasting apple pie include: Fuji, Jonathan, Jonagold, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Pippin and Winesap. For best results try combining 2 or 3 varieties.
- 1 medium apple yields 1 cup when peeled and cored.
