Ingredients

Pie Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening, room temperature
1 egg
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Apple Filling:

5 Northern Spy apples
3/4 cup fine sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Combine the flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut room temperature shortening into flour until mixture is uniform and shortening resembles large peas. Beat egg, water, and vinegar together to blend. Pour all of the liquid evenly over flour mixture. Stir in with fork until all of the mixture is moistened. Divide dough in half and shape each into a ball. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle. Wrap and chill dough for 15 minutes for easier rolling.

Dust rolling pin and work surface lightly with flour. Roll dough to a uniform thickness. Roll to a circle about 1-inch larger than upside down 8-inch pie plate. Carefully place one dough circle into pie plate and gently press into form of plate. Trim excess dough around the edge with the back of a knife.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Peel, core, and slice apples. Mix apple slices with sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Place apple mixture in pie shell. Place second pie crust on top and form to the edges of the pie plate. Cut slits in the top crust to allow for steam to release in oven. Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, until pie is fully baked and apples are tender.

Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Lovely Pie. But with cinnamon as the only seasoning, the filling is a bit boring. But I liked how I was able to substitute... other apples for the Northern Spies-- like Alton Brown says, Granny Smiths for tartness and Fuji's for sweetness. The dough was fantastic, very flaky. The first time I made this, everybody ate up my crust. Though the second time I made the pie, the crust came out a little salty. The 3/4 tsp is definitely generous.Read more

Disappearing act!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made as suggested except I couldn't find Northern Spy apples so I substituted 1/2 Golden Delicious and 1/2 Granny Smith as... that is what I had on hand. Finished product was oh so yummy and disappeared more quickly than usual :)Read more

non-gooey, but still delicious!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My dad and i spruced up this recipe a bit, and my step-mom who does not like pie just ate this and loves it. She said that it... was not gooey, and that's how she likes it. This is what we did: used Granny Smith apples, soaked them for about 20 minutes in the sugar, cinnamon, touch of nutmeg, some light brown sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. i had an overload with the vanilla though, but it turned out okay; it was not too much!! layered the apples down, added some juice that was made when they were soaking, sprinkled some flour, more apples, flour and before putting the top crust on, some pieces of butter. to me, this could have been more gooey because i like gooey pie filling. but if you don't like gooey, this is the way to go!

Very easy, very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

First time making an apple pie, and I was stunned by how easy and good this recipe is. My only difficulty was moving the... crust from the rolling surface to the pie shell -- both crusts broke up some along the way, although the final result looked fine after some doctoring. I also added a dash of nutmeg to the apple mixture, and it added another flavor layer. A great intro to apple pie!Read more
