Cade's Apple Pie Recipe

Cade's Apple Pie recipe
Oh Sweet Basil

Seriously, how can you go wrong with apple pie? Everyone loves a good, thick slice of tasty apple pie.

Ingredients

1 1/3 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Shortening
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3-4 Tablespoons Water (Ice )
2 Apples (Large Honey Crisp )
2 Apples (Large Gala )
2 Apples (Large Granny Smith)
1 Cup Sugar
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
3 tablespoons Flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Method

1
Stir together the flour and salt.
2
Cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas.
3
Mound the flour in the center of the bowl. Sprinkle one tablespoon over part of the mixture and gently toss with a fork.
4
Push the moistened part to the side of the bowl and continue until all is moistened.
5
Form dough into a ball and place on a floured surface.
6
Flatten dough slightly with hands and wrap in plastic wrap.
7
Refrigerate for 10-20 min.
8
Roll the dough on a floured surface.
9
Place in pie pan. (If you are doing a double crust pie you need to double the recipe and keep one ball in the fridge until ready to cover the pie. Remove it a few min before you roll it so it wont be too cold)
10
If you have the time, I recommend blind baking the bottom crust before adding the filling. Totally optional, but I love the result! *see note
11
Heat oven to 375
12
Peel and slice the apples and place in a large microwaveable bowl.
13
Pour in all of the other ingredients and toss to coat.
14
Microwave for 3-7 min depending on how much of a bite you want on the apple.
15
Fill your pie with the apples and cover with remaining pie dough.
16
Take your thumb and pointer finger as if you are showing how big 1/2 inch is. Turn your hand so that your fingers are flat against the pie plate.Use your other hand to push your pointer finger between the other two fingers creating your pie edge (see picture below).
17
Bake for 20-25 min.
