Ingredients
Filling:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tart apples, cored, peeled and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon butter
Crust:
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups shortening
About 1/4 cup cold water
Directions
- For the filling: mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg with apples and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the crust: mix the flour and salt with the shortening until crumbly. Add cold water and knead. Roll out 1/2 of the dough and place in an 8-inch pie tin. Cut off extra dough from around the edges. Poke with fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Place the apple mixture in the aluminum on top of the dough. Roll out the other 1/2 of the dough and place on top of the apples. Pinch dough around the edges to seal it. Poke the top of the pie with a fork gently. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
