A totally untraditional but perhaps more delicious version of an apple pie. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup shortening |
6 tablespoons cold water |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
5 apples - peeled, cored and chopped |
3/4 cup raisins |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. To Make Crust: In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cup flour and salt. Cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water at a time to dough until it is moist enough to form into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with a piece of aluminum foil; it should cover bottom and sides of pan. Lightly flour the foil. Press the dough into the pan.
3. To Make Filling: In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently toss apples, raisins and walnuts with cinnamon mixture until coated. Fill the crust with the apple mixture.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool.
5. To Make Icing: In a small bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle over top of cooled pie.
