  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbls.  lemon juice
  • 2 Tbls.  butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 Tbls. water

Instructions

I purchased my pie plate at www.emilehenryusa.com
For the crust:
Combine flour and salt, cut butter flavored Crisco into flour using pastry cutter. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time. Divide the dough in half, shape into a round disc, wrap in seran wrap and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
Peel, core and slice the apples thick, stir in the lemon juice. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and corn starch,
pour over the apples and stir to coat the apples.
Roll out bottom pastry, using seran wrap that has been lightly dusted with flour
on the bottom and top of the dough, this
makes it easier to handle the pie dough.
Place the crust into the pie plate.
Mix egg white with 1 tbls. water and beat lightly. Using a pastry brush, brush some egg white mix onto the pastry. Using a fork, poke a few small holes through pastry.
Place apples with sugar mix into pie plate,
arranging apples if necessary to fit into the pie plate. Dot with butter.
Roll out top crust in seran wrap, place the crust on top of pie, sealing and pinching the crusts together.
Brush the top of the pie with the egg white mixture. Cut two 1/2 inch slits into the top crust to allow steam escape.
Bake 1 hour 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let cool.
Even my mother-in-law praises this pie and the flakey pie crust.
