Ingredients

    1 1/2 level cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup brown rice flour
    1 level teaspoon salt
    3/4 all-vegetable shortening
    4 tablespoons cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon white vinegar
    3 cups peeled and roughly chopped "soft" apples (such as PaulaRed, MacIntosh or Red or Golden Delicious)
    3 cups peeled and roughly chopped "firm" apples (such as Granny Smith, Northern Spy, Pink Lady, or Gravenstein)
    1/4 cup pure maple syrup
    1 tbsp ground cinnamon
    1/2 tbsp fresh grated ginger

Directions

Preheat oven to 450F.
Place flours and salt into a mixing bowl.
Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarsemeal.
Slowly add acidulated water by the spoonful, mixing until a flaky dough forms.
Divide dough in half and roll out one half, then line a lightly sprayed 9" pie tin with the dough.
Combine apples, maple syrup, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl, stirring well to coat everything.
Pour apples into the pie crust. It will look like a freaking ton, but trust me it's worth it!
Roll out other pastry half and top the apples, sealing the edges well.
Dock crust with a fork 3-4 times for ventilation (you don't want all your hard work to explode in your oven!)
Place pie on a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven.
Bake 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F.
Bake for 45 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool.

    Very Good
    I made a pie with candied and fresh ginger and a pinch of cayenne; it had a nice kick to it, besides the sweetness. I also used honey instead of maple syrup, and used store-bought pie crusts. Yummy! - 10/11/10
