JOY OF COOKING APPLE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the filling: Peel, cut the cores, and cut it into 1 inch thick. Place those in a bowl and mix it with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
• Mix the pie crust: Mix the salt, sugar and flour in a medium bowl. It's time to butter the pie and mash it between your fingers.
• Knead the crust: Place the dough onto a clean surface, add vinegar and ice water. Mix with your fingers until combined, then start to knead the dough. It takes only a few minutes to divide into two discs, approximately 1 inch thick. Pack the dough and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours.
• Blind-bake and form the bottom crust: Bring 1 disc from the refrigerator and roll it to fit about a 9 inch pie pan. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Crimp the edges with your fingers and seal it with egg wash. You can sprinkle it with Demerara sugar if you prefer.
• Top crust and add the filling: Bring the second disc, when it has cooled enough add the filling and top the second crust. Crimp the edges with a fork and seal with egg wash. Cut the top crust to steam out from the filling.
• Bake the pie: bake it for 40 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown, rotate it once halfway through. (If edges start to burn before the pie is baked then cover it with aluminum foil)
• Allow to cool: After removing it from the oven, cool it at least 30 minutes before cutting. Serve it with whipped cream or ice cream or you can add cheddar cheese.

APPLE PIE

Steps:

• To make the pie:
• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roll out half the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plate, and trim the edge, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Chill the shell and the remaining dough while making the filling. In a large bowl toss together the apples, each peeled, cored, and cut into eighths, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the salt, and the lemon juice until the mixture is combined well, transfer the filling to the shell, and dot it with the butter.
• Roll out the remaining dough into a 13- by 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface, drape it over the filling, and trim it, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under the bottom crust, pressing the edge to seal it, and crimp the edge decoratively. Brush the crust lightly with the milk, cut slits in it with a sharp knife, forming steam vents, and sprinkle the pie evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake the pie on a large baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350°F., and bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
• To make pâte brisée:
• In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.
