| Preparation: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
For basic pie dough for 9 inch two-crust pie:
Mix flour and salt, cut in shortening, sprinkle water over flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, and mix lightly with a fork, using only enough water so the pastry will hold together when pressed gently into a ball.
Or buy refrigerated 2 crust pies (the easy way).
Apple Pie:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9 inch pie with half of pastry dough. Peel, core and slice apples in a large bowl. Add sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Add fresh lemon. Put top crust on top of pie. Cut several vents in the top of the crust. Brush light cream on top of crust. Sprinkle sugar on the top. Bake 40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is browned.
Cook on a rack, slice and enjoy. Fingers allowed.
