Ingredients
Crust:- 125g flour- 1/2 tsp salt- 1/3 cup vegetable shortening- 3-3.5 Tbsp ice waterFilling:- 7 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into wedges- 1 large apple (e.g. Fuji), peeled and sliced into wedges- 1/3 cup sugar- 2 Tbsp flour- 1 Tbsp cornstarch- 1/2 tsp cinnamon- 1/4 tsp ground ginger- zest and juice of one lemon
Peel apples, and slice into wedges, 16 per apple. Put in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar. Let drain for about two hours.
Preheat oven to 400F.
For the crust, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening in two batches. Add ice water 1/2 Tbsp at a time until the dough comes together but is not wet. Chill 15 minutes to ease rolling out. Roll out in a cirlce (easiest between two layers of wax paper) and line a 9" pie dish. Cut edges.
Put apples in a large bowl. Combine 2 Tbsp flour, cornstarch, remaining sugar, and cinnamon. Sift mixture oven apples and stir to combine. Add lemon zest, and then stir in lemon juice.
Layer apples in a circular pattern in the pie dish, layer by later.
Bake at 400F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350F, lightly cover with foil, and bake an addition 50-60 minutes. Let pie cool completely before serving; this allows the pectins to set up and keeps the pie well-formed when cut and served.
