PERFECT APPLE PIE!
This is a very simple apple pie recipe, and one that I have always had success with, it is the one I always choose when I want to make a perfect apple pie. Of coarse you can use your favorite pie crust recipe if desired. Remember, use only Granny Smith or Pippin for this pie otherwise you will end up with a mushy filling. This pie can also be made with a crumb topping instead of a top pastry crust see recipe below. Once you try this recipe for apple pie you will always come back to it! The amount of apple filling is enough for one large 10-inch deep-dish pie or divide in half and make two 8-inch pies, also the crumb topping for this recipe is enough for two small pies.

FRESH APPLE PIE
There's nothing better than the smell of the fresh apple pie baking in the oven. It signifies the start of cozy fall days, and it's the ultimate dessert to kick off the season. This recipe uses Betty's pie crust mix so you can skip chilling your pastry dough and get right to the baking part-meaning less time waiting around for pie and more time eating it! Apple pie is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

MILLIE'S PERFECT APPLE PIE
My perfect apple pie, this has always been my favorite pie which I am often asked to baked for family get togethers. The recipe is actually one that has been in our family for years and is my personal favorite. I like the level of cinnamon spicyness it has as well as the perfect crust which is my grandmothers recipe. This recipe is a sure thing for the perfect apple pie. I am from Texas originally, but have lived in Australia for 3 years now, since I cannot find the shortening here that the crust requires I substitute this with soft margarine spread. It works great as well, just keep all crust ingredients as cold as possible for a light flaky crust.

Steps:
- For Pie Crust:.
- Sift flour, add salt & sift again.
- Using two butter knives, cut in half of the shortening thoroughly or until mixture resembles course corn meal.
- Cut in remaining shortening until roughly the size of peas.
- *The secret to flaky crust is Ice Cold Water and very cold shortening.
- Sprinkle water, 1 tablespoon at a time over small portions of the mixture, with a fork press the flour particles together as they absorb the water, do not stir.
- Push aside pieces of dough in bowl as formed and sprinkle remaining water over dry portions, use only enough water to hold the pasty together. It should not be wet or slippery.
- Press all together lightly with your fingers or wrap dough in waxed paper & press all together gently.
- Bear in mind, the less the dough is handled the better the crust.
- Place dough in refrigerator to chill while peeling & slicing apples.
- Apple Pie filling:.
- Pre-heat oven to 425f
- Peel, Core and slice apples - 4-5 cups is about 5-6 apples.
- Prepare pastry and roll out undercrust, fit into a 9 inch pie pan.
- In a bowl: combine sugar, flour, cinamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt.
- Spread half of this mixture over the pastry lined pan.
- Add apples and sprinkle remaider of mixture over the apples.
- Sprinkle apples with lemon juice and dot with butter.
- Roll, fit and seal upper crust over the top of the apples, I like to cut little hearts and X's in the top crust too for air.
- Bake on the lower shelf of a hot oven (425 f) 30-40 minutes.
- * I also cover the very edge circle of the crust with foil to keep the edges from browning too much more than the rest of the pie while baking.

- Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the pieces of butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture is crumbly with lots of pea and chickpea-size clumps of butter and shortening within.
- Add the water and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and very crumbly. Dump the dough crumbles onto a work surface and divide into two piles, with one pile about 15% bigger than the other (13 oz and 11.5 oz). Make two balls of dough and pat each one into a 5-inch disc. Wrap the discs in plastic and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
- Take the larger disc of dough out of the refrigerator. Dust your work surface lightly with flour and place the dough on top; sprinkle a little flour over the dough. Use your hands to quickly knead the dough into a soft and malleable disc (don’t overwork it; you want it just supple enough to roll).
- Roll the dough, adding more flour as necessary under and on top of the dough so it doesn't stick, into a 13-in circle. Carefully drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-in deep-dish pie pan (it should be at least 1-1/2 in deep). Gently fit the dough into the pan, easing it inwards rather than stretching it outwards. Trim the edges to 1/2 inch beyond the lip of the pie pan. Turn the edges under to create a rim on the crust. Press the rim against the lip of the pan, forming it into an even edge. Use any scraps to patch in any tears or thin areas. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you heat the oven.
