Directions:
Make pastry dough (see recipe below) and line a 9-inch pie plate
with half the dough. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large
mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples and
put mixture in pie plate, crumble the butter over apple mixture, and
cover with other half of the pastry dough. Crimp edges and brush top of
pie with mixture of 1 egg yolk mixed with a little water. Make 4 slits.
Bake about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice
cream. It can also be served cold, if desired. Using a food
processor with a steel blade, or a mixing bowl with a pastry blender,
cut in the butter, flour and salt until mixture resembles coarse corn
meal. Add enough cold water, a little at a time, until dough forms into
a ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, wrap in wax paper and chill
for about 1 hour; bring to room temperature before rolling out on a
well-floured surface. When dough has been rolled out to size, fold
in half; then in half again to make a quarter circle. Fit into dish
and carefully unfold. Trim excess dough. Push dough up slightly around
edge of dish to about 1/5 inch above rim. Pierce dough with fork all
over; place aluminum foil or parchment paper over dough and weigh with
dried beans or other weights. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes. Shell
is now ready to fill with apple pie filling. (Pilar is John Wayne
wife). Formatted by Mary Wilson, BWVB02B.
