Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 c shortening
1/4 c ice water
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp flour
1 c sugar
3 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2/3 c water
2 Tbsp butter
5 c peeled and sliced apples

Steps:

  • 1. For your crust measure 2 cups of flour into a bowl and mix salt in with a fork. Cut Shortening in coarsely. Sprinkle water in 1 Tablespoon at a time, and mix with a fork until all the flour is dampened. Gather into a ball and roll out on a floured surface to make 2 crust for a 9-inch pie.
  • 2. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line 9-inch pie pan with 1 pie crust from above recipe.
  • 3. Combine 1 Tablespoon of sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoon of flour in bottom of crust.
  • 4. In a sauce pan combine 1 cup of sugar, 3 Tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
  • 5. cook over medium heat until boiling and thickened, stirring constantly. be careful not to burn.
  • 6. pour over apples and butter. Stir to coat them well, and pour into pie crust.
  • 7. place second crust over the apples, and pinch together along the edges to form a fluted crust. Cut vents into the top crust (I cut little designs in mine to make it pretty.)
  • 8. wrap aluminum foil loosely around the edges to keep the crust from burning as it cooks
  • 9. bake about 40 minutes, removing the foil for the last 5 minutes, until the crust is well browned
