    Recipe Introduction

    I put a layer of aluminum foil under my pie plate to catch the messy drips.

    List of Ingredients


    1 recipe pastry for a pie, unbaked (recipe follows)

    1 stick butter
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup water
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoons nutmeg
    8 Granny Smith apples-peeled, cored and sliced
    ________________________________________________________
    Pie Crust

    1 1/4 cups flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/3 cup vegetable shortening or lard, chilled
    1/4 cup ice water

    Place flour and salt in a shallow mixing bowl and cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle water over surface, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix in lightly and quickly with a fork, just until pastry holds together. Shape gently into a ball on a lightly floured pastry cloth, then flatten into a circle about 1" thick, evening up rough edges. Roll into a circle about 3" larger than the pan you plan to use. To transfer pastry to pan, lay rolling pin across center of pastry circle, fold half of pastry over pin and ease into pan; press dampened scraps of pastry on top. Trim pastry so it hangs evenly 1" over rim. Roll overhang under even with rim and crimp or flute.
