Apple Pie

My Thanksgiving Dessert

You Need
For the crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons shortening
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling
3 Peeled Apples
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Warm the butter in the microwave until it is soft, but not melted.
Mix in a large bowl:2 cups all-purpose flour,1 teaspoon salt,1 tablespoon sugar
Then knead into a soft dough using 6 tablespoons butter,6 tablespoons shortening and
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
Peel and slice your apples.
Soak them in water with a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Mix in large mixing bowl:1 cup sugar,2 tablespoons flour,1/2 teaspoon cinnamon,1/4 teaspoon salt,1 tablespoon vinegar.
Now, drain the water off of the apples and mix them with the spices.
Now that your pie crust has had plenty of time to cool, divide it into two, equal halves.
Roll one of the balls of pie crust out until it is around 1/8th of an inch thick.
Place this in a 9 inch baking pan
Once you have shaped it to fit the inside of the pan, take a fork and poke holes in the bottom of the crust. This will let the steam out as the pie bakes.
Dump all of the apples in the pie. Place about 4 chunks of butter on top of apple filling. This will give the filling rich flavor.
Roll out the remaining pie dough and place it on top.
Cut long strips of tinfoil and place them around the edge of the pie.
This will prevent the crust's edge from burning while it bakes. You will want to take the tinfoil off about ten minutes before the pie is done. This way, the apple pie will have a golden brown edge.
Bake your pie at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
