American Thanksgiving 4th of July

🧂 Ingredients

6-7 large Tart apples like Granny Smith
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening

I use the blue Crisco package
7-8 Tablespoons VERY cold water

Instructions

1 To make the crust:

Measure the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix. Cut in shortening until it
resembles peas. Spoon in 7-8 tablespoon ice cold water and mix with fork until
holds together. Don't over mix. Divide into 2 with one slightly larger ball for
bottom. Roll out on floured surface and line a 9" pie pan. Roll out 2nd ball on
floured surface and use pastry cutter to make 10 strips or leave flat
with apple cookie cutter or leave mini cutters cut out middle.
2 To make the pie filling:

In a large bowl add peeled and sliced apples. Toss in the flour, sugar,
cinnamon, and nutmeg. Scoop into pie pan.
3 Cover the pie with the 2nd ball that is either a flat sheet with cookie cutter
or slits to allow steam to escape or make a lattice top.
4 Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Add a cookie sheet on rack above pie so
it doesn't brown (or cover with foil) and bake another 35 minutes. Turn oven off
but leave it in the oven for up to an hour. This allows the extra juice to cook
off so it isn't a "soupy" pie.
5 Serve with vanilla ice cream, carmel sauce, or a slice of cheddar cheese if you
like.
