Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll 1 round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
- In medium bowl, mix apples and brown sugar. Place in pastry-lined pie plate. Drizzle with butter and 3 tablespoons of the syrup. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.
- Roll other round of pastry into 10-inch round. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired.
- Bake 15 minutes. Make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart through top crust. Pour remaining syrup over top. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake about 25 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool completely.

Tips:
- Use the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples are all good choices for apple pie, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the filling.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the pie so that the filling has room to bubble up.
- Brush the top crust with milk or cream before baking: This will help it brown and give it a nice shine.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help the crust set and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F for the remaining baking time: This will help the filling cook through without overbrowning the crust.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
This maple-glazed apple pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and maple glaze, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this maple-glazed apple pie a try!
