Preparation

Step 1

Place flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening until crumbly. In a
small bowl, whisk egg, water and vinegar; gradually add to crumb
mixture, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when
pressed. Shape into a rectangle; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate
30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375°. For filling, in a large bowl, toss apples
with lemon juice. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour, cinnamon
and nutmeg; add to apple mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a
13x9-in. baking dish; dot with butter.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to fit top of pie. Place
over filling. Trim and flute edges. In a small bowl, whisk egg with
milk; brush over pastry. Cut slits in top. Bake 40-50 minutes or
until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool on a wire
rack. Yield: 15 servings.
