LUCINDA'S OLD-FASHIONED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Position the racks in the center of the oven and in the lower third.
• Squeeze the lemon juice into a large bowl. Peel, quarter, core, and thinly slice one apple at a time. Toss the slices in the lemon juice to prevent browning. Repeat with each apple.
• On a well-floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to about 12 inches in diameter and lay it in the bottom of a standard 10-inch pie plate. Trim the edges of the dough flush with the edge of the pie plate's rim.
• Add the 1/4 cup sugar, the flour, cinnamon, cloves, and salt to the apples and toss to coat. Pile the apples into the dough-lined pie plate. Dot with butter.
• Roll out the top crust to a diameter of 12 inches. Lay it over the apples. Trim the edge of the top crust so it hangs over the bottom crust by at least 3/4 inch. Tuck the top crust under the bottom and roll it under all around. Pinch it together to close. Crimp the edges with fingers or press with a fork. Chill the pie for a few minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Cut a few slits in the crust top to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the egg mixture evenly over the whole crust, being careful not to block the slits. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar.
• Place a cookie sheet on the lower rack to catch any overflowing juices from the pie. Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and there is a sign of bubbling juices. Cool on a wire cooling rack for at least 1 hour. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• For the Pie Crust
• Mix together flour, 1 1/2 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. salt.
• Using pastry blender, blend together chilled butter, lard and flour until crumbly (pea size chunks).
• Start by blending 4 tablespoons of ice cold water into the flour/butter/lard mixture.
• Add more water a tablespoon at a time until mixed and dough sticks together when pressed. Don't make too wet, just enough water to have dough come together.
• DO not overmix or your pie crust will be tough.
• Divide in half, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• While dough is chilling, in large bowl toss together apple slices, white and brown sugar, tapioca and cinnamon.
• Roll out pie dough to make two crusts that cover pie plate with about an inch excess.
• Place one in bottom of pie plate.
• Pile high with apple mix, cover with other pie crust, seal edges, cut slits for venting.
• Sprinkle top with white sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake 350 for about 1 - 11/2 hours until top is golden brown. Cover edge with a pie shield or foil if edge starts to brown too much while baking.
