All-American Apple Pie

Ingredients:

Double Crust Classic Crisco Pie Crust
6 medium sized Granny Smith apples
3/4 cup of sugar
2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Large egg white, lightly beaten (optional)

optional:
Decorative Crust

Ingredients:

Single Crust Classic Crisco Pie Crust
1 Large egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of sugar


1.) Prepare the recipe for double crust pie. Roll out the dough for bottom crust. Place in a 9-inch pie plate. Press to fit without stretching the dough. Trim it even with the pie plate. Do Not bake.

2.) Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

3.) Peel, core and slice the apples. Mix with the sugar, flour and cinnamon by tossing it like you would a salad. Then pour into the unbaked pie crust; dotting it with the butter. Cover with top crust; seal and flute edge. Brush with egg white. Cut slits for steam to escape.

4.) Make single pie crust and roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a small 1/2 inch star cookie cutter, cut out 20 to 25 stars. Place 1 star on rim of top crust, brush with the egg whites. Repeat until trim is covered.

5.) Combine the cinnamon and the sugar; then sprinkle mixture over the crust. Bake 30 to 40 minutes; or until the pie is golden brown and apples are tender.
