Classic apple pie

Tis' the season... all the aspen are lustrous yellow, the nights are cold, the deep cloudy skies are magnificent. Perfect time for snuggling up on the couch with warm tea, apple pie ala mode, and a good book (or episode of Mad Men?). 

Happy Fall :-) 

Pie Crust:
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
3 TBS sugar
8 TBS cold butter, cut in cubes
3 TBS cold water


Apple Filling:
6-7 small apples, peeled and sliced
3 TBS brown sugar
juice form 1 lemon
generous cinnamon 


Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter cubes until pea size. Add water. Form into ball, wrap in plastic, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Roll out your dough. Add filling. This dough recipes gives you just enough to make a lattice cover (but not a crumb more). Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake at 350 for ~50 minutes, or until golden brown.
