There are a few recipes in my arsenal that I simply do not mess with. Lasagna.<\/a> Mama Reita’s meatloaf.<\/a> Brownies.<\/a> Chocolate Chip Cookies.<\/a><\/center>

<\/center>
And this one.\u00a0<\/center>

<\/center>
I found this recipe in an issue of Relish magazine eons ago, and I was smitten with it right from the start. This pie contains only the most basic ingredients. Its simplicity is belied, however, by the fact that it is assembled in a spring form pan, which not only makes for a spectacular presentation, but also for slices of pie so sky-high and brimming with apple-y goodness that you almost need a knife to help slice through them!<\/center>

<\/center>
With layer upon layer of spicy apple goodness and a crust with a tender crumb that always leaves you yearning for just a sliver<\/i> more, this is, without a doubt, the quintessential, never-mess-with apple pie recipe for this household. And please – don’t forgot the Bluebell Homemade Vanilla ice cream, for goodness’ sake!<\/center>

<\/center>
Deep Dish Apple Pie<\/b><\/span><\/center>
from Relish Magazine<\/i><\/center>

<\/center>
For the crust:<\/b><\/center>
2 1\/2 \u00a0cups all-purpose flour<\/center>
1 \u00a0teaspoon salt<\/center>
3\/4 \u00a0cup vegetable shortening<\/center>
6 to 7 \u00a0tablespoons ice water<\/center>

<\/center>
For the filling:<\/b><\/center>
4 \u00a0pounds tart apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored and sliced<\/center>
1\/2 \u00a0cup all-purpose flour<\/center>
1 1\/3 to 1 1\/2 \u00a0cups sugar (The original recipe calls for 1 1\/2, but I always add a little less, since we prefer a more tart pie)<\/center>
1 \u00a0teaspoon cinnamon<\/center>
1\/2 \u00a0teaspoon salt<\/center>
3 \u00a0tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces<\/center>
Cinnamon-sugar (optional)<\/center><\/center><\/center>

<\/center>
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/center>

<\/center>
For the crust, mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir gently and gather into two balls, one about twice as large as the other.<\/center>

<\/center>
Alternatively, you can use your food processor to make the dough, which is my preferred method. Pulse together the flour and salt. Cut the shortening into small pieces, and add it to the bowl of the processor. Pulse 5-6 times until the shortening is fully incorporated in the flour mixture and the mixture contains no pieces of shortening larger than a pea. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing to incorporate after each addition. Turn the dough onto your floured work surface and knead just enough to bring the dough sufficiently together. Divide the dough into two balls, as described above.<\/center>

<\/center>
Roll out larger ball on a lightly floured surface until it is large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan, with about 2 inches of overhang. Roll the smaller dough ball into a 9-inch circle.<\/center>

<\/center>
To prepare the filling, combine apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt; toss well. Spoon into prepared crust. Sprinkle pieces of butter on top. Place top crust over filling. Fold overhang evenly around the top crust. Cut 10 to 12 slits in top crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if desired. Bake about 1 hour or until crust is deep golden and the filling oozes through the slits.<\/center>
