APPLE PIE FROM SCRATCH WITH A BEAUTIFUL LATTICE CRUST by EVERYTHING BUT PASTA (RECIPE BELOW!):
I N G R E D I E N T S :
Pastry:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup cold shortening
1/4 cup ice water
3 tbsp sour cream
Filling:
6 apples (hone crisp, McIntosh or Cortland)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp corn start
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
2 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp coarse sugar
1 egg yolk
D I R E C T I O N S :
To make the pastry, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles small peas. In a small bowl, whisk water with sour cream; drizzle over the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Divide in half; press into disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 30 mins to 1 hr.
For the filling, peel, core and slice the apples and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch and salt. When ready to add to the crust, add apples to the sugar mix and toss to coat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one of the discs to an 1/8 inch thickness. Place it into a 9 inch pie plate. Trim to about 1/2 inch overhand. Scrape the filling into the pie shell and dot with butter.
To make the lattice, roll the 2nd disk to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut 12 1-inch strips. Starting from one edge, place 6 strips across the pie. Fold the 1st, 3rd and 5th strip and place a strip across the pie. Bring back the folded strips. Now fold the 2nd, 4th and 6th strip and place another strip across the pie. Repeat until all the strips are placed. Cut the excess strips at the edges to about 1/2 inch and fold into the bottom pastry.
Whisk the egg yolk with a tbsp of water and brush it on the lattice. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake in bottom third of the oven at 450 degree F (425 degrees F for convection) for about 60-65 mins or until bottom is deep golden. Let cool on rack for 10 mins before serving.
