Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
- 2. Lightly roll out 1/2 pie crust to 1/8" thickness, about 2 1/2 inches larger than pie plate. Fold in half and fit into pie plate. Trim the edges to fit the pie plate. Place crust in oven for about 5 minutes, remove from oven and set aside. This step will prevent your bottom crust from becoming soggy.
- 3. In large bowl, mix apples, sugar, spices, lemon juice and flour. Pour into bottom crust and dot with butter. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water.
- 4. Roll out the remaining pie crust to about 1/8" thick and about 1" larger than the diameter of the plate. Fold in half and place over the apples with the folded half in the center. Carefully unfold and adjust over the apples. Gently press edges together and trim to fit the pie plate. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges together or crimp edges with fingers. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the crust, about 1/2" in length.
- 5. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar. Place aluminum foil strips around the edge of the crust.
- 6. Line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with aluminum foil and place on the bottom rack in the oven. Place pie on the top rack and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven and remove foil. Return to oven and bake for about another 10 minutes or until crust is evenly golden.

GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll 1/2 the short crust pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry, trim away the excess and crimp the edge.
- Roll out the rest of the pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. On a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper weave the strips of pastry into a lattice that will cover the top of a 9-inch pie plate with 1-inch of overhang. Refrigerate the pie shell and lattice for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the apple quarters into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the inside edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Arrange the apples in the pie shell and dab the top with pieces of cold butter. Slide the lattice top over the apples. Press the pastry of the lattice firmly on the crimped edge to seal the 2 together. Brush the lattice with egg wash. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter and shortening into the flour. Combine the mixture with your fingers until it resembles cornmeal. Add the ice cold water and mix with a spoon, pulling the water into the flour until a dough forms.
- With your hands, shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten them into disks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.

GRANDMA OPLE'S APPLE PIE
This is a recipe for apple pie that I got from allrecipes.com and it is THE BEST apple pie I have ever had. It is different that ordinary apple pie, the fresh apples are placed in the crust, covered in a lattice top and smothered in a decadent sauce. Whoever Grandma Ople is, I would really like to thank her for she sure knows how to make a mean apple pie!For my crust, I use a recipe for pie crust that includes vinegar and is found on this site.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
- Bake 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and continue baking for 35-45 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly so they cook evenly.
- Add a little lemon juice to the apples to prevent them from browning.
- Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and flute the rim.
- Pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture and dot the top with butter.
