Recipe

* Once the weather starts to cool down, you can’t go wrong with apple desserts. Apples get tender when baked, but still hold their form, making them one of our favorite fruits to bake with. Learn how to make the perfect apple pie in this video!
Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 11 1/4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup ice water
2 1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled Braeburn apple (about 1 pound)
2 1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled Cortland apple (about 1 pound)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whole milk

Preparation

Lightly spoon 2 1/2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour and salt in a large bowl; cut in 6 tablespoons butter and vegetable shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add lemon juice. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and toss with a fork until moist and crumbly. Shape dough into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour.

Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Gently press each portion into a 1-inch-thick circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover and freeze 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Place apples in a large bowl. Combine sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, and allspice in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples; toss well to coat.

Working with 1 dough portion at a time, roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough circle into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray, allowing dough to extend over the edge. Roll the remaining dough portion into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Spoon apple mixture into prepared pie plate, and dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Drizzle apple mixture with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Top with 10-inch dough circle. Press edges of dough together. Fold edges under, and flute. Brush surface of dough with milk. Cut 3 (1-inch) slits in the top of dough to allow steam to escape. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until the apples are tender.
