Directions:Crust
1. Mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut the margarine into the dry ingredients until it's evenly distributed and until it forms roughly pea-sized clumps. You can either do this step by hand using a pastry cutter or two forks, or you can do it in a food processor with a few brief pulses.
2. Add water while the butter is still nice and cold, use a spatula to quickly mix the ice water/vinegar mixture into the dough until it is evenly combined and the dough begins to form moist clumps. If the dough is not sticking together, you can add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of water to help it clump. Be careful not to over-mix the dough during this step of the process; overworking it makes the crust tough.
3. Using your hands, quickly pack the dough into a ball (like you’re packing a snowball) and then flatten it into an even disk.
4. Wrap the dough disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour. Remove and roll!
5. Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl. The amount of sugar depends on the ripeness of apples and the number of apples (medium size).
6. Place filling in prepared crust. One for the bottom and one for the top in your desired design (whole or lattice). Leave a 1" to 2" slit in the top for venting.
7. Bake at 350 degrees approximately 1 hour. Start the pie on bottom rack for 30 minutes. To get a good crust then move it to the upper rack the last 30 minutes to brown the upper crust. |

Notes: I prefer almond extract over vanilla. It makes it more interesting.
The quality of your pie is only as good as your ingredients. Don't cut corners.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28.
