Apple Pie

Recipe submitted by DaVita renal dietitians Jean and Madonna from Minnesota.

Portions: 8

Serving size: 1/8 of pie

Ingredients

• 6 cups apples, sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2-2/3 cups all-purpose white flour
• 1 cup shortening
• 6 tablespoons water, cold

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
2. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cut shortening into flour using a pastry blender. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until dough forms into a ball.  If it does not, use hands to form a ball.
4. Divide dough in half and roll out one piece, using a rolling pin and additional flour as needed. Place in a 9" pie pan.
5. Stir apple pie filling and pour into pie shell.
6. Using 1 tablespoon pats, place butter all around pie filling, evenly dispersed.
7. Roll out the other 1/2 of dough.  Place on top of apple pie filling, making sure edges of pie are covered.
8. Using a sharp knife, make four 1” cuts around the top of the pie crust for air to escape while baking.
9. Place pie in oven on a jellyroll pan to catch juice from pie while baking.
10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until crust is golden brown.
