Apple Pie Recipe
Flaky, tender crust is " in the bag." This method of
rolling the pastry inside a big plastic bag is a modern
improvement on the old familiar method of rolling dough
between sheets of waxed paper. It allows you to roll out
pastry without adding extra flour to keep it from
sticking even on a hot, humid day.
8 or 9-inch Double Crust
3/4 cup Shortening
5 tablespoons cold water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 425°. Place shortening, water, flour and
salt in food processor bowl. Process just until dough
clumps together - about 5 seconds.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a
6-inch pancake. Center one pancake inside a 13 by 15
inch plastic bag. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the
countertop to hold the plastic bag in place. Smooth out
the bag and begin rolling the pastry from the center out
in alternating directions to form an even circle. After
every few strokes, lift the top surface of the bag from
the dough and smooth it down again flip the bag over and
lift the other surface and smooth it down. Continue this
"roll, lift, flip" pattern until your circle of dough is
about one inch wider than the rim of your pie pan.
Loosen both sides of the plastic bag from the dough and
slide the pie pan upside-down into the bag and center it
over the circle of dough. Turn the pan and bag over so
the dough rests in the pan and slide the pan and dough
from the bag. Gently press the pastry into the pan and
trim the edges about one half inch beyond the rim.
Filling
1/4 to 3/4 cup sugar (See Variety Note)
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 cups (2 1/2 lbs) thinly sliced, pared tart apples (See
Variety Note)
2 tablespoons butter
Variety Note
Exact amount of sugar depends on your taste and what
apples you use. We like 1/2 cup sugar with a tart
variety such as Jonathan. With sweet varieties such as
Golden Delicious and Fuji, 1/4 cup sugar is plenty.
Combine two or more varieties for best results.
Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Pare, core, and
slice the apples with an apple peeler corer slicer. In a
large bowl, toss the apple slices lightly with the sugar
mixture then turn the filling into the bottom crust.
Cut the butter in small pieces and dot it over the
filling.
Put the remaining dough pancake inside the bag and roll
it out using the same "roll, lift, flip" routine. When
the top crust is rolled, cut the bag on 3 sides and peel
off the top sheet of plastic. Use the remaining sheet of
plastic to turn the top crust over the filling, center
it, then peel off the plastic. Trim the top crust to 1/2
inch beyond the edge of the pie pan. Fold the top edge
under the bottom crust and flute. Cut steam vents in the
top crust. Bake about one hour or until the apples are
fork-tender and the crust is golden brown. |
