Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cups Crisco
6–8 tablespoons ice-cold water
2 teaspoons vinegar
Filling:
7 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
Topping:
6 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Mix together the flour and the salt. In a separate bowl mix together the vinegar and the ice water. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the Crisco into the flour mixture then gradually add the water until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough and place into your 9 or 10 inch pie pan, flute the edges. I used a tart pan because I like the look.
In a bowl mix all of the filling ingredients and toss to coat the apples then place into the prepared crust.
Topping:
Combine all of the ingredients and spread evenly on the pie. Bake at 350 for 70-80 minutes. Cool and then serve with ice cream or whipping cream.
Notes
Note: This recipe calls for using half of the dough for the crust and half to make decorative cutouts to attach to the crust, I did not do that part. The original recipe also calls for a combination of apples I only had granny smith.
