Solid Tbspn Pie Dough

Solid Tbspn Pie Dough

Ingredients:
2 Cup All−purpose flour
1 Pinch Salt
2 Teaspoon Sugar
3/4 Cup Solid vegetable shortening
3 Tablespoon Ice water −; (to 4 tbspns)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Add
the apples and saute for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, lemon juice and flour.
Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Season the apples with nutmeg, cinnamon,
and salt. Mix thoroughly and remove from the heat. Cool the mixture. For the
pie dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the
shortening and work it in with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work it in with your
hands. Add only as much as you need for a smooth ball of dough. Wrap the
dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the
dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut
the dough into 2 halves. Lightly dust the surface with flour. Roll out each
half of dough to 12 inches in diameter and about 1/8−inch thick. Fold one
circle of dough in fourths. Carefully lift the dough and place in a 10−inch
deep dish pie pan. Unfold the pie dough and spoon the apples into the pie
shell. Place the second round of dough over the apples. Using a sharp knife,
cut away the excess dough. Using your fingers, crimp the edges of the pie
firmly to seal the dough completely. With the same sharp knife, make three
slits, about 4 inches long and 2 inches apart, across the pie dough. Place
the pie in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven
and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Return the pie to the oven and
continue to cook for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve warm
with vanilla ice cream. This recipe yields 8 servings.
