The Big Apple Pie image

My daughter used this recipe to submit a pie in the baked goods department of our local county fair. She not only received a blue ribbon for this pie she also won the all around grand champion at the fair.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
½ cup ice water
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water a tablespoon at a time until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Roll out top crust and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
  • In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and cinnamon. Mix well and pour into pie shell. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown.
