Apple Pie

per a friend's request, here's my homemade apple pie recipe.

Pie Crust:

1 C. shortening

2 C. Flour

1 tsp. salt

5-7 Tbsp. cold water

Whisk flour and salt together. Add shortening and using a fork, cut it into the flour mixture until it mixes, making tiny balls of shortening and flour. Add 5-7 tbsp. of cold water into the mixture and make two dough balls. (for two crust layers) Roll out into pie dish

Apple filling:

6-8 large apples (golden delicious is best for pie) thinly sliced and peeled

1 tbsp. lemon juice (optional)

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp. flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour filling into the crust and layer the second crust on top. Slice open a few slits in the top crust to let air escape while cooking.

cook in oven 350 degrees for 1 hour, let cool before slicing.
