GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED APPLE PIE

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.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee into two 1/8-inch-thick circles to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate. Place the other circle on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice, spices, and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter, and cover with remaining pastry circle. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
• Bake until crust is brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool on wire rack before serving.

OLD-FASHIONED MIXED-APPLE PIE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and blend just until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Soften dough 15 minutes at room temperature before rolling out.
• Butter 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured work surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Transfer dough to prepared pie dish and press dough onto bottom and up sides of dish, allowing overhang to extend over sides. Roll out second dough disk between sheets of parchment paper or waxed paper to 12- to 13-inch round; transfer dough to baking sheet. Refrigerate both crusts while preparing filling.
• For filling:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Combine all apple wedges, 1/3 cup sugar, raisins, quick-cooking tapioca, grated lemon peel, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg in large bowl; toss to blend. Let stand at room temperature until some juices form, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Place crust-lined pie dish on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over bottom of crust. Transfer apple filling to crust, mounding filling slightly in center. Dot filling with butter cubes. Brush crust edges lightly with water. Remove top parchment sheet from second dough round. Invert dough round atop filling; remove second parchment sheet. Trim dough overhang on both crusts to 1/2 inch. Press crust edges together, then fold under. Using tines of fork, press on crust edge around rim of dish to seal decoratively. Using small sharp knife, cut six 1-inch slits in top crust, then cut out 1/2-inch circle from center of top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush top crust lightly with milk, then sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake pie until crust is golden, apples are tender when pierced, and juices are bubbling thickly through slits in crust, covering crust edges with foil collar if crust is browning too quickly, about 1 hour longer. Transfer pie to rack and cool to lukewarm or room temperature. Cut pie into wedges.
• Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at most supermarkets and at natural foods stores.
