| Yummy Pie & BEAUTIFUL! |
 |
| Creamy filling with tender apples & spicy crumbs all packed into a tender flaky crust!
CRUST:
1 Cup Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1/4 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Shortening
Cut together until you have fine crumbs
Add 3 to 4 Tablespoons Cold water & 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla, Stir just until it pulls together to become dough. Roll out on a well floured surface to make a 9 inch crust. Line your pan with the dough. Trim crust & flute your edges. Now preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lay a piece of foil gently in the crust. Fill the foil lined crust with 2 Cups of raw rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven & gently lift foil & rice out of the pan. This is called blind baking & it ensures a flaky bottom crust! Now set crust aside & make the filling & crumbs. Set oven to 375 degrees so it is ready to bake your amazing pie!
FILLING:
6 Macintosh or Granny Smith Apples peeled cored & sliced thin! I use Macintosh!
In a large bowl, I just use the bowl I made the crust in, stir together the following:
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2/3 to 1 Cup Sugar, depends on how tart your apples are!
3 Heaping Tablespoons flour
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon OR use 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon & 1/4 Teaspoon each Nutmeg, Ginger, Cloves, & Allspice. I just use Cinnamon
Dash of Salt
2 Eggs beaten
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Whisk that all together. Add your prepared apples & stir well. Dump them into your pie shell. Top with the following Crumb Topping!
CRUMB TOPPING:
1 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Dash of Salt
Stir all together & then cut in 4 Tablespoons Butter until you have fine crumbs! Again I just use the same bowl I made the dough & filling in! Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the filled pie! Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the pie is bubbling & nicely browned! Cool & serve! THIS IS GREAT ELEGANT APPLE PIE!
