DEEP DISH APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Pulse the cold butter & shortening into the flour sugar and salt using a food processor until the shortening & butter is reduced to pea sized pieces.
• Remove to a large bowl.
• Sprinkle the water & vinegar mixture over the surface and toss with a fork until the water is just incorporated into the dough. Do not over work the dough; handle it only enough so that the dough stays together.
• Separate the dough into 2 balls and wrap in plastic. Place in the fridge to chill well. You can freeze one for another time.
• Roll out into a 12 inch round and place into a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Tuck the excess pastry under the edges and flute the edges with your fingers or a fork.
• Wrap an aluminum foil strip around the outside of the crust and blind bake the pastry using baking weights in parchment paper for about 15 minutes at 375 degrees F. (I reuse dried kidney beans for baking weights all the time) Remove the baking weights and parchment paper.
• Add all the ingredients except the cornstarch to a large saute pan.
• Saute until the apples are just begging to soften and some of the juice is released,
• Add the dissolved corn starch and stir well continuing to cook for one minute or so. Set the apples aside to cool a little before adding them to the blind baked pastry shell.
• Rub all the ingredients together with your hands until the butter is fully incorporated into the flour, then sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apples.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour or until the filling is bubbly. You may need to use another strip of aluminium foil over the outer crust if it begins to get too dark during the baking time.
• Cool for at least a half hour before cutting and serving. Don't forget the vanilla ice cream!

APPLE CRUMB DEEP DISH PIE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a deep dish pie plate with pastry, flute edges.
• Peel and slice apples thinly and place in a bowl.
• Squeeze the lemon juice over the sliced apples; toss to coat with the juice.
• Then mix in the 3 tablespoons sour cream, mix well; set aside.
• Prepare the crumb topping.
• To make the crumb topping: in a small bowl mix the flour and sugar together; cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
• In another small bowl, mix the 1-1/2 tablespoon flour, 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Pour the flour mixture over the apples; toss well to coat.
• Spoon the apple mixture into prepared pie shell.
• Drizzle with the 3 tablespoons melted butter.
• Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
• Place the pie on a foil-lined cookie sheet (too catch any spills).
• Bake on the lowest oven rack position at 375 degrees for approximately 1 hour, or until the filling is bubbly and apples feel soft.
• **Note** if you find that the topping is browning too much, cover lightly with foil.

Steps:

• Mix 1 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Rub egg yolks and cold butter into the flour mixture until it forms fine crumbs. Add water a little at a time just until dough starts to form and stick together. Wrap dough with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
• Roll pie dough out on a well-floured surface and place in 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine apples, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, mulling spices, and pinch of salt in a large bowl; mix well to combine. Place apple mixture in prepared pie shell.
