THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLE PIE

Steps:

• First Make The Crust.
• Start off by mixing 2 1/2 Cups of AP Flour, with 2 Tablespoons of Sugar, and 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt.
• Then, using a Food Processor, or a Pastry Blender, (or even 2 knives). Add 2 Sticks of cubed COLD Butter (The cold butter is used for flakiness).
• Combine until mixture looks like Course Crumbs.
• Add Ice Cold Water, 1 Tablespoon at a time. Until when squeezed between your hands it forms into dough.

• Cover with Plastic Wrap, and Refrigerate until the Pie Crust is done.
• Take Both out of the Fridge, and let sit on counter for 5-10 minutes.
• Roll One Ball of Dough Out. (Roll at least two inches bigger than your pie dish is.).
• Place in a buttered, and floured pie dish.
• Add Apples, but reserve the liquid at the bottom. Pour a Tablespoon of the Liquid on top of the apples. And Discard the rest of the liquid.

• Put Pie in a Preheated 425 Degree Oven for 15 Minutes.
• Reduce the Heat to 350 Degrees and Bake for 42-48 minutes.
