King Arthur’s French Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 c all purpose flour (King Arthur’s)
1/4 tsp of salt
1 Tbsp ice-cold water
1/2 c shortening (vegetable lard)
8 c of apples; remove peel, core and slice
3/4 c refined sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 c all purpose flour (King Arthur’s)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 c all purpose flour (King Arthur’s)
1/2 c sugar (brown)
1/2 c butter

Instructions:

For crust, mix flour, salt and one-half shortening (vegetable) into a blender (pastry). Gradually mix in remaining half of shortening until the mixture is lumpy. Slowly knead while adding the iced water and if dough sets better, roll as thin and even, then transfer in a pan and set it aside.

For the filling, mix apples, sugar, cinnamon powder and then the nutmeg. Gradually add flour. Pour the apple filling in pan with crust made earlier.

For the topping, mix butter, brown sugar and flour. Roll and spread as evenly possible on to top the pie.

Preheat the oven (425 degrees F) and then bake the pie for fifteen minutes. Reduce the temperature, lower to about 350 degrees F then bake another thirty minutes
