Simple & Tasty Apple Pie

DIRECTIONS

• FOR CRUST:
• In a medium to large sized bowl, mix together flour and salt.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until you have oatmeal-sized pieces of butter.
• Slowly add water, little amounts at a time (you do not want to add too much) and toss with fork until dough starts to come together.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough. (This recipe makes the top and bottom crust, divide dough in half before rolling.).
• Put one crust in the pie pan, set the other aside.
• FOR FILLING:
• Preheat oven 450°F, after 5 minutes of preheating, pre-bake the bottom pie shell 1-2 minutes.
• Cut apples and sprinkle with lemon juice (optional), set aside in a medium/large sized bowl.
• In another bowl, mix sugars, spices and 2 tbsp flour. Reserve 2-3 tbsp of mixture in a separate bowl.
• Toss apples in mixture, and arrange in pie pan (dome shape works well). Sprinkle 1 tsp flour, then with reserved mixture.
• Dot with butter, and cover with second crust. Seal/flute edges and slit steam vents.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F, then rotate pie and bake 30-35 minutes at 350°F Enjoy!
