Crust Ingredients:
- 2 2/3 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 c Crisco
- 7-8 Tbsp cold water
Measure flour and salt into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly using pastry blender. Sprinkle in water, 1 Tbsp at a time, mixing with fork until all flour is moistened and dough almost cleans side of bowl (1-2 tsp water can be added if needed). Gather dough into ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Divide in half and shape into 2 flattened rounds. Prepare filling (see details below). With floured rolling pin, roll dough 2 inches larger than inverted pie pan. Add filling. Then top crust. Flute edges. Make 3 2-inch slits in top crust. Drizzle 1 Tbsp milk on center of top crust and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of sugar.
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 c sugar
- 1/3 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Dask of salt
- 8 c thinly sliced pared tart apples (about 7 medium)
- 3 Tbsp butter
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pastry. Stir together sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; mix lightly with apples. Turn into pastry-lined 10-inch pie pan; dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Seal and flute. Cover edge with 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Remove foil and continue baking till crust is golden brown and filling bubbles thru slits on top. About 30 minutes more.
