Keira’s Homemade Apple Pie
Pie Crust:
2 C flour
3/4 C butter, cold and cut into cubes
1 egg
1 1/2 t vinegar
2T ice cold water
Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg. Stir. Add vinegar and ice-cold water. Mix thoroughly, it will start to stiffen and will need to be rolled into a ball by hand. Place in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
Filler:
6-8 Granny Smith apples
1/2 C apple juice concentrate
2t. cornstarch
1-2 t. cinnamon
Peel, core, and slice apples. Mix together apple juice concentrate and cornstarch, add to apples. Add cinnamon. Stir gently until the moisture from apples is released and spices are incorporated.
Remove pie dough from refrigerator and cut in half. Roll out one half for the bottom of the pie, place in a pie tin with edges overhanging. Place apple mixture in pie tin. Roll out the rest of the dough and place it on top of the apples. Crimp edges so sealed. Cut slits on top of the pie for venting.
Bake in the lower third oven at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and tent with tinfoil. Bake another 30 minutes or until apples are soft when pierced.
