COUSIN JIM'S AMAZING APPLE PIE
This is the best apple pie I have EVER had. This is one of those pies where everything just blends together on the palate beautifully and makes your mouth want more. I was not an apple pie fan until I tasted this! It is better than ANY bakery, restaurant, or grocery store bought (duh) apple pie I've tried. OH - and by the way, it is worth the effort to roll out the dough...Mmm, Mmm! You can use this light, flaky dough with TONS of other fruit pies.

Steps:
- PREPARE THE APPLES: Peel, Core, and slice apples thinly, and place in a large bowl.
- Cover apples with sugars, flour, vanilla, and spices, and Mix well with apples; Set aside.
- At this point, PREHEAT OVEN to 350°.
- PREPARE THE DOUGH: Mix Salt, Flour, and Shortening in mixer- then add ice cold water.
- Remove dough, divide in half, and roll out one half using flour to keep from sticking- Reserve the other half for top crust.
- Line 9 inch pie pan with half dough; Allow 1/4 inch extra dough to stick out- you'll pinch it with the top crust later.
- Put apple mixture into crust-lined pan.
- Roll out top crust and cover apples.
- FINISH THE PIE: Gently Pinch bottom and top crusts together, and Flute edges of dough (make it pretty).
- Poke several fork holes in top crust, and Dot crust with butter and Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 350° for 65-70 minutes.
- Allow to cool 20 minutes before serving plain or with vanilla bean ice cream, cool whip, or whipped cream; This also warms up great in the microwave.
- And, by all means, ENJOY!
