The Perfect Apple Pie

Prep Time: 35 min
Total Time: 1 hr 25 min
Makes: 10 servings

2-1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shortening
5 to 7 Tbsp. ice cold water
6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 4 large apples)
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp. lemon juice (optional)

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix flour and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
ADD water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, mixing lightly with fork until flour mixture is evenly moistened and clings together when pressed into a ball. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 1/2-inch-thick round. Wrap each dough round in plastic wrap; refrigerate 10 to 15 min.
MEANWHILE, toss apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice in large bowl; set aside. Place 1 dough round between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap; roll out dough with rolling pin to flatten slightly, working from center of dough to the edge. Turn over; continue rolling until dough round is about 2 inches larger than diameter of inverted 9-inch pie plate.
PEEL off top piece of plastic wrap; invert dough into pie plate. Peel off remaining piece of plastic wrap; press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate, being careful not to stretch the dough. Trim any dough hanging over edge of pie plate with sharp knife or kitchen scissors; reserve trimmings.
FILL with apple mixture; set aside. Roll out remaining dough as directed; place over filling. Trim top crust about 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold edge of top crust under edge of bottom crust; pinch edges together to form a ridge. Flute edge (see Tip). Cut several slits near center of pie to allow steam to escape.
BAKE 45 to 50 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly. Cool.

KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS
Decorative Crust

Finishing Touches
Brush top of crust with lightly beaten egg white before baking (for shiny top), a whole egg (for golden brown top) or brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar (for a sparkling top).

oooo i got a good apple pie recipie for you! but i dontmake the dough, i just buy the pie crust at the supermarkert. pillsbury makes it, and the market has its own generic version.

you need:
a 9 inch pan
a package of the store's pie crust (you need two pie crusts, usually what comes int he package)
apples (get the red ones, they're sweeter, but green ones work too, it's ur preference. or you can do a mix)
cinamin
sugar
butter( to grease pan)

preheat the oven to the pie crust's specifications. its either 350 or 450. peel and core the apples and you slice them into 8. place the slices in water to soak and not brown. then, after you have done all the apples, you drain them, and then add about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups sugar (depends how sweet you want it) and about 1/4 cup cinamin. i really dont measure when i cook, so these are estimates. you really ahve to go by taste to get the right combination. then, you mix the apples, sugar, and cinamin together and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. let the apple slices absorb the sugar and cinamin flavors.
During this time, you should unroll the pir crust onto a greased pie pan. 9 inches is ok, as long as the pie crust can fit. be careful as to not rip the crust! Make sure it fills down into the creases of the pie pan (make the most of it!). cut off the excess pie crust. leave about a half inch extra around the edge of the pie tin. also, poke it a litle with a fork to let trapped air escape. dont make them too big though! you dont want the juice of the pie to go intot he tin, you want it in the pie! Then, place the apple slices into the pie. get the edges first. you will need to really fill up the pie because it will "deflate" once the pie gets cooked. pile it up in the middle after you get the sides. it's ok to have extra (snack on it later). take the top layer and gently unroll it onto you apple slice mountain from one side of the pie to the other. Cut off the excess and then press together the two pie crusts at the edges according to the box. Cut litte vents in the top crust. do it crosswise (but do not have then connect!) and x-wise. then place in the oven and cook according to the box's instructions (can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 30, it depends on the crust).
it should be golden brown when you take it out, so let it cool for a good 20 minutes or so, at least to let the pie filling settle. then its good to go!

I hope these pie recipes will work for you and your husband. My whole family likes them. They are some of my Mother-in-laws recipes. Please enjoy. You can buy already made pie crust in stores, but I thought you might want to have a recipe for it also. This is why I have given it to you first. LOL.

BASIC APPLE PIE RECIPE
8 servings

This is my mom's recipe for apple pie (I've even successfully made it a few times!) You can make the crust or you can use a premade one.

CRUST (recipe makes one double crust):
2 1/2 cups white flour
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter, broken into small pieces
5 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening
8 tbsp. ice water

Measure the flour, sugar and salt togetherl. Stir to combine.
Add the chilled butter pieces and shortening to the bowl. Cut them in with a pastry cutter or knife. Don't over mix them.
Add the ice water. Mix until the dough holds together (add a bit more water, if necessary).
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it together, then divide in half.
Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in saran wrap and chill for at least half an hour.
Roll out one of the disks on a lightly floured surface until you have a circle that's about 12 inches in diameter.
Put the circle in a 9" pie plate, trimming any extra dough from the edges with a sharp knife (parents only). Return it to the refrigerator until you are ready to make the pie.
Add filling (see below)
Roll out the second ball of dough and cover top. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch the edges together. cut a couple slits in the top.

FILLING
1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
8 medium sized apples (a medium apple = about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons margarine

Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Peel, core and slice the apples. Try to keep the size of the slices even.
Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl.
Stir in apples.
Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
Dot with margarine.
Cover with top crust and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top.
OPTIONAL: Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent too much browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.
