Directions
- For the crust: 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.
- For the filling: 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 a 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.
