Ingredients: 2 1/2 C flour 1 t salt 3/4 C shortening or butter 6-8 t cold water 5-6 apples (any will work. I like to use Gala and Granny Smith mixed) 3/4 C sugar 1 t cinnamon 1 T flour or cornstarch Instructions: Mix flour and salt. I like to sift mine using my antique sifter that was my Grandmas. Cut in shortening or butter until crumbly. I use butter and I put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes then use a cheese grater and shred it. Works great Add cold water gradually until dough holds together. Divide in half. (top and bottom crust) Roll out one half for bottom crust. Place in pie plate. Peel, core, and slice apples. Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Fill crust with apple mixture. Add top crust. I like to roll my crust out and then cut in strips and make a latice top. Either way I like to beat an egg and brush the top crust and then sprinkle course sugar on top. Seal the edges. Cut a vent if using a solid pie crust top. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45-50 minutes until golden. Don't foget the ice cream! November recipe challenge
