- 1. Prepare the pie dough, divide half and roll out each half no more than 1/4 inch thick. Line a 9-inch pie pan with one. Keep lined pan and top crust chilled.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel and core the apples and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with sugar and cinnamon to taste and with the flour. Fill the pie with the apple slices, mounding them somewhat in the center. Dot with butter. Cover loosely with the top crust, using a little water to seal the crusts together. Crimp the edges. Using a fork or the tip of a knife, make several vents in the top crust.

ALL-AMERICAN APPLE PIE
It's the 4th of July...what better way to celebrate than with an All-American dish like homemade apple pie?? There are lots of recipes out there, but I prefer this one that calls for the addition of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for some added spice. Also, I like my apple pie overflowing with apples (an apple pie isn't supposed to be flat like a pumpkin or cream pie!) so this version has LOTS! The ingredients list granny smith, but I tend to use a variety, incorporating granny smith, gold delicious, and braeburn.

Steps:
- For the Crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.
- Add butter and shortening and cut in, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add 6 tablespoons ice water and process until clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry (I never need more than 6 tablespoons).
- Gather into ball; divide into 2 pieces.
- Flatten each into a disk. Wrap each in plastic; chill at least 2 hours. Can be made a day ahead.
- For the filling: Position oven rack in lowest rack of oven and preheat to 400°F
- Mix all of the filling ingredients except apples in large bowl. It should be very dry and clumpy -- not really a 'sauce' at all.
- Add apples and coat.
- To assemble: Flour a sheet of parchment paper; roll out 1 dough onto paper until it is a 12-inch round.
- Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish by flipping the paper over, then gently pressing so that the dough is along the bottom of the pie dish. There should be an overhang all the way around.
- Add filling.
- Roll out second dough to 13-inch round. Cut into twelve 1-inch wide strips. Arrange 6 strips across pie, leaving gaps between the filling and the lattuce along the way (that will make weaving the others easier).
- Form lattice by arranging 6 strips across the first strips, taking care as you go. If one breaks, don't worry--just tuck the break underneath!
- Gently fold over the edges onto the lattice, pressing with a fork to seal.
- Brush lattice with milk, and sprinkle lightly with additional sugar.
- Cover edges with foil and bake pie 10 minutes.
- Without opening the oven (I know, its so hard to resist!), reduce oven temperature to 375°F
- Continue baking until juices are thickened and crust is golden, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool for at least one hour before eating.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to eat the pie and will also help to prevent the apples from browning.
- Add some spices to your apples. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pie. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Use a good quality pie crust. This will make a big difference in the overall quality of your pie. You can either make your own pie crust or use a store-bought one.
- Bake your pie until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Early American apple pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious apple pie that your family and friends will love. You can also get creative with your pie by adding different spices, fruits, or nuts.
