Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup shortening
- 3 to 5 tablespoons cold water
- ⅔ to 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 7 to 8 medium apples ((peeled, cored and thinly sliced))
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter, (softened)
Steps
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the shortening and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender. The flour mixture should be in pea-size granules. Add the water, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well until a ball of dough forms.
-
Knead the dough gently using excess flour to keep it from getting sticky. Roll it out with a rolling pin on a floured surface. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Set it aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
-
In a large bowl, combine all of the apple filling ingredients and pour the apples and all the juices into the unbaked crust.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and flour. Add the softened butter and mix it in with your (clean) fingers or a fork. When you get nice-sized bits of streusel topping, sprinkle it on the pie. Add a little extra butter in little chunks on top, if desired.
-
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
