I was passed this recipe by another mom. Since it turned out well for 7 people (serves 8) at our family lunch I will be using it to prepare the apple pies at our graduation party:

Ingredients:


Apple Mixture
6 -7 large granny smith apples
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg


Pie Dough
2/3 cup shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup ice water


Finish
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, to taste
3 -4 tablespoons sugar, to taste

Directions:Prep Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 3/4 hrs
1 PREPARE THE APPLES: Peel, Core, and slice apples thinly, and place in a large bowl.
2 Cover apples with sugars, flour, vanilla, and spices, and Mix well with apples; Set aside.
3 At this point, PREHEAT OVEN to 350°.
4 PREPARE THE DOUGH: Mix Salt, Flour, and Shortening in mixer- then add ice cold water.
5 Remove dough, divide in half, and roll out one half using flour to keep from sticking- Reserve the other half for top crust.
6 Line 9 inch pie pan with half dough; Allow 1/4 inch extra dough to stick out- you'll pinch it with the top crust later.
7 Put apple mixture into crust-lined pan.
8 Roll out top crust and cover apples.
9 FINISH THE PIE: Gently Pinch bottom and top crusts together, and Flute edges of dough.
10 Put several fork holes in top crust, and Dot crust with butter and Sprinkle with sugar.
11 Bake at 350° for 65-70 minutes.
12 Allow to cool 20 minutes before serving.

I hope you love it.
