Easiest Apple Pie
List of Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk (approx. see below)
3 - 4 apples
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 Tbsp water
Recipe
Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until texture of fine
crumbs. Beat yolk in glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to measure
barely 2/3 cup. Pour milk mixture over crumbs, working in with a
fork. Finally, work with hands to form a smooth ball. Cut in half.
On lightly-floured surface, roll half the pastry to fit a pie dish ,(8inch )
Slide pastry into dish, supporting with rolling
pin. This is not difficult, as pastry is very pliable!
Peel, core and slice apples thinly. Arrange over pastry. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over apples.
Roll remaining pastry to fit top. Lay over apples, cutting off excess pastry at sides. Do not seal edges or cut air holes in top! Brush slightly with beaten egg white over surface.
Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 45 - 50 minutes, or till golden. Cool on wire rack.
Mix icing sugar and water till smooth. Drizzle over top. Cut into serving-size pieces.
