I found this recipe on the Land O Lakes website. I made only a few small changes. It was delicious!
Blue Ribbon Apple Pie
(source: adapted from Land O Lakes -original recipe here)
Crust
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
fresh grated nutmeg to taste
1/3 cup unsalted Land O Lakes butter, cut into chunks
1/3 cup cold shortening
5-6 tablespoons cold water
Filling
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all- purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of kosher salt
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
6 cups tart apples (Granny Smith), peeled, sliced 1/4 inch
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (one melted and one cut into pieces)
1 teaspoon raw sugar
Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap 1 ball of dough in plastic food wrap; refrigerate. Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold dough, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan; set aside.
Combine all filling ingredients except apples, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon sugar in large bowl. Add apples; toss lightly to coat.
Spoon apple mixture into prepared crust. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter. Roll remaining ball of dough into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough over filling; unfold. Trim, seal and crimp or flute edge. Cut 5 or 6 large slits in crust. Brush with melted 1 tablespoon butter; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cover edge of crust with 2-inch strip aluminum foil.
Bake for 35 minutes; remove aluminum foil. Continue baking for 10 to 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Cool pie 30 minutes; serve warm. Store refrigerated.
