[Adam's] Apple Pie
Crust:
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
4-5 Tbsp water
Filling:
1/2 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/8 cup flour
1/6 cup water
4 cups diced Jonathan apples
milk & sugar
Mix dry crust ingredients. Cut shortening in with pastry cutter until well mixed. Add water; continue to mix with pastry cutter or fork. Form into ball then roll on floured surface with rolling pin. Makes 1 double crust pie crust.
Bring butter, sugar, vanilla, flour and water to boil. Pour over diced apples; stir. Place in pie shell; cover with top crust. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown at 350° for 1 hour.
Ok, so I cheated and used frozen pie crusts. I just don't have the knack for rolling them out, so I just don't even try - there are other things I'd much rather master. And since this was for my hubby, I used cookie cutters to cut out hearts and overlay them on the top pie crust before brushing with milk and sprinkling with sugar. It must have been good - I only had 1 piece and somehow the rest of it disappeared within a couple days.
