RE: HI, HI, AMERICAN PIE

Ok here it is!

Crust

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 1/2 c all purpose flour
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 c ice cold water

Directions

  • Combine the flour and salt, then cut in the butter by breaking it up with a pastry cutter or your hands.
  • Add water little by little until you can form the dough into a ball.
  • On a floured work surface, cut the dough in half.
  • Roll out one half of the dough so it will fit into your pie dish, covering the bottom and sides of the dish.
  • Roll the second half of the dough to the same size as the first, and cut it into strips if you'd like to make a lattice. (there are loads of lattice tutorials on the web, and I also did one a while back here

Apple filling!

Ingredients

  • 7-10 apples, depending on their size, cored, peeled, and sliced. (Enough to fill the pie crust pretty deep.)
  • juice of 2/3 a lemon
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 3 T flour
  • 2 T butter, diced
  • 1T cinnamon
  • 1/4 t each nutmeg, allspice, and ground cloves (if you like these, of course)

Directions

  • Toss the apples in lemon juice, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir to coat the apples.
  • Add the apples to the top of the bottom pie crust.
  • Add your top pie crust
  • Brush the top pie crust with a lighly beaten egg, OR take the awesome suggestion of @marxrab and add streusel on top (see her comment on this post).
  • Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, then turn the oven to 350F and bake for another 45 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the apples are bubbling.

Enjoy!!!!
