Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 1/8 cups sifted flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2/3 cup chilled vegetable shortening
- 5 tablespoons ice water
Directions
Place flour and salt in bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle ice water over surface (1 tablespoon at a time). Mix lightly until it holds together. Do not over-mix. Cut in half, wrap in plastic and keep in refrigerator until ready to roll.
- Filling
- 8 cups apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, cold
Put apples in large bowl and pour lemon juice over them. In another bowl add dry ingredients and then add to the apples.
Assembly: Roll out 1 of the dough halves to an 1/8-inch thickness. Lay into pie pan with a little bit overlapping the sides. Put apple mixture into pie shell, mounding it higher in the center. Cut cold butter into 1/2-inch cubes and place on top of the apples. Moisten outer edge of bottom crust, place top crust on pie and press down.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. When ready to put pie in oven turn temperature down to 450 degrees F and bake on lower rack until it starts to brown, about 15 minutes.
Turn oven down to 375 degrees and bake approximately 1 to 1 1/4 hours

Pretty easy to make and tastes great. I doubled the cinnamon and it was good, but I would even add more next time. The only disappointment was that all the apples stewed down in cooking and left this big hollow dome of crust, so it was not pretty when sliced. (I don't make pie much. Is this normal with a double crust pie???. Also, a lot of the liquid escaped the crust and overflowed the pan when baking, so I would recommend putting foil or a cookie sheet under the pie pan.

My dad used to eat here when he was a kid, and when I moved into his childhood home for a few years, I went there too! The Apple Pan is this incredible, old, historic diner that's on Pico Blvd in Los Angeles that's truly a wonderful place to eat. It's like an oasis in the middle of a city with constant traffic, so many fancy cars, and ultra-modern and flashy glitz and glamor. Just like my dad's historic house, which was built in the 1920s in the old Spanish style, felt like home, the Apple Pan feels authentically home too. I'm so so glad this recipe has been posted on the Food Network website--thank you! I can't wait to try it!
