Directions:For Pastry
1. Mix flour and salt
2.Add shortening and with your fingers mix until mixture resembles bread crumbs.
3. Add water 3 T at first, but may need another tablespoon
4.Flour working surface and then knead dough into a ball
5. Cut ball in half
6.With floured rolling pin flatten into thin lower crust big enough to fit and overhang the edges of a 9 " pie plate. Roll from center to edges. Make sure work surface has lots of flour. If edges develop cracks pinch together before rolling any further. When the right size roll the pastry onto the rolling pin and place into pie plate. (This technique is demonstrated in a number of cookbooks)
7. Add sliced apples and cover with sugar
Sprinkle generous amount of cinnamon over sugar and then sprinkle lightly with nutmeg
8. Dot with 4 T. butter
9. Wet edge of pie crust with water ( this helps to seal the upper crust to the bottom crust)
10. Place upper crust over lower crust and using the edge of your thumb press edges together forming a seal.
11. Trim the edges with scissors or knife
12. Brush the surface with egg-milk mixture
13. To prevent edges from burning cover them with tinfoil
14. Make 4 slits in the pie
15. Bake in 400º oven for 30 minutes (check at 20 min to see if pie is cooking uniformly). If not rotate pie. Pie is done when bubbling through slits. |
