Granny Smith's Apple Pie

I was suppose to bake some kinda fruit pie like weeks back but i kept remitting due to tight schedule until today when i couldn't absorb anymore of the stuff i was reading and decided that it was a perfect time to take a break and bake that apple pie !

Ingredients

PIE CRUST
* 2 cups flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tbsp sugar
* 6 tbsps butter
* 6 tbsps shortening
* 6-8 tbsps ice water

Method:
1) Mix the flour , salt and sugar in a bowl.
2) Add the butter, shortening and ice water into the dry ingredients.
3) Then cut in the butter and shortening until it sticks together and thats the sign its ready.
4) Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and wrap each with a cling wrap and keep it in the fridge for at least 30mins or until its needed.
Note:
According to some pastry chefs, its best not to over mix it, cut the butter into the flour until its no longer bigger than a pea size and then gather it all and form it into a ball shape and avoid as much contacts with the dough as possible and let it sit in the fridge.

APPLE PIE FILLING
* 5 tart peeled apples (I used Granny Smith)
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 tbsp flour
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
* 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method:
1) Slice the apple and soak it in water with a tbsp of lemon juice.
2) In another bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and apple cider vinegar and stir to mix.
3) Drain the sliced apple and toss it into the mixture and mix well.

Note:
Lemon juice will prevent the apples from turning brown. If you dont have any lemon juice, jst add a lil salt to the bowl of water.

I didnt have any apple cider at home , so i jst added white vinegar instead.

PUTTING THE PIE TOGETHER

Method:
1) Take the dough out from the fridge and roll both of it.
2) When rolling, start from the center out.
3) Once you're done rolling, wrap the dough around the rolling pin and bring it over to your pie pan and unroll it.
4) Shape it to fit the inside pan and once you're done doin that , use a fork and poke holes on the fitted dough.
5) Place all the sliced apples into the pie and add some small cubed butter if you fancy.
6) Roll out the remaining dough and repeat step 3 and place it on top. If the sides of the dough's overflowing, just slightly fold n tuck it in.
7) You can use the tip of a fork and create a pattern around the edge of the pie.
8) Use a knife and cut lines on the top so that there's an outlet for the steam to escape during baking or you can latticed it.
9) Bake at 205 degree C for bout 50-60mins

Note:
My pie came out just nice but the bottom crust was a lil wet, mayb i should try bakin the bottom pie first , for about 15mins or so then only add in the apples n the top crust
