Best Apple Pie
By carvalhohm
How to prepare the pie crust: Have all of your ingredients ready and chilled
- The filling:
- 3 cups (15 oz) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 8 oz Lard, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and frozen
- 1 egg
- 5 1/2 tablespoons ice cold water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, actually any white vinegar will do.
- egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon heavy cream)
- 1/4 cup raw Turbinado sugar, for the top of crust
- 3 pounds thinly sliced apples (about 4 pounds whole) - I used a combination of Haralson, Braeburn, Cortland, McIntosh, Gala and Granny Smith. Feel free to use your favorites, but be sure to use some that will keep their shape when baked.
- 1 cup raw Turbinado sugar – this gives a richer flavor than regular sugar. You can also use brown sugar, but may have to adjust amount if using sweeter apples.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cake flour or cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 6 pieces
