Ingredients
  

Pie dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 5-6 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 5 Braeburn or Granny Smith apples peeled, sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon coarse granulated sugar

Instructions
 

To make the pie dough:

  • Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening and butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until particles are the size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until flour is moistened and pastry almost clings to side of bowl (add 1 to 2 teaspoons more water, if necessary). Gather pastry into a ball.
  • Divide dough in half and shape each into a round flat disc. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.

To make the pie:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Flatten 1 disc of dough gently using your hands on lightly floured surface. Roll dough from center into circle 12 inches in diameter. Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Ease dough into pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Spoon apple filling into pastry. Trim pastry even with rim of pie plate.
  • Roll remaining disc of dough into circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place pie crust over filling; trim 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust; press edges together to seal. Flute edge. Brush top crust with water and sprinkle with sugar. Cut 5 or 6 slits in top crust in spoke pattern to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cover edge with foil during last 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire rack. Cut into 8 slices.
