The right type of apple is essential for a delicious apple pie. Granny Smith is by far my favourite apple for any pie or tart recipe. The Granny Smith is definitely got a little bite to it, but when baked in an apple pie there’s just the right balance with the other ingredients that make the perfect sweetness.

Single Pie Crust Recipe
Single Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup cold- unsalted butter ( shortening
- 3 Tbsp ice water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Cut cold butter or shortening into small cubes.
- With a pastry cutter (or fork), cut butter/shortening in the flour until the dough pieces are coarse crumbs, about the size of peas
- Sprinkle 1 Tbsp water over the crumble and gently toss, with fork.
- Repeat by tablespoons until the water is gone.
- Check your dough to see if it is ready or if it needs more water ( should be tacky and hold together)
- If it is crumbly and falling apart add a few drops more water. Do not over mix. ( You don't want the bits of butter to melt.)
- form it into a ball and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Time to Roll the dough
- lour your surface as well as your rolling pin. Roll from the center out working in all directions.
- Don't overwork it. It's best not to soften the butter too much.
- Roll until it is about a 12 inch round crust. Fold the finished crust over your rolling pin and place it onto the pie plate.
- Ease the crust into the pie plate.
- Pierce crust with a fork before baking
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 375° F
Leftover dough?
- Roll the pieces of left over dough out and cut into shapes to put on the top of the pie or use as a garnish on the served pieces with ice cream.
We like the crust pre-baked to prevent my pie from getting soggy when I add the filling. It is not required to pre-bake this crust. It is only required for custard pies, so it’s really what you prefer. If you choose to pre-bake your crust, pierce the bottom a few times with a fork to let the air escape. You can use pie weights on parchment if you like. I never use them but some people really like them. tent the edges of the crust with tin foil strips. This will keep your crust from getting too brown.
If you choose to pre-bake, your crust, it should look golden. You can also bake the cut-outs that you previously made if you made any.
Tips for your best crust.
If you want a flaky crust I recommend using shortening instead of butter. I have used both and found that the shortening makes a flakier crust. But for the taste, I prefer butter. It is just a matter of your own preference. Either shortening or butter are fine
Don’t overwork your dough. This is a mistake that we all make and it’s so tempting to keep working it to make it nice and smooth. The lumpy bits of butter or shortening is what makes the crust flaky. When it’s overworked the butter or shortening melts during the mixing process and it really needs to melt during baking. The end result of the overworked crust is dry and chewy instead of flaky and delicious.

TIP for making any fruit pie a stacked pie
When you are filling your crust with fruit, overfill it so that it is a mound before you baked it. The baking process causes the fruit to cook down. When your pie is finished baking it will be nice and full.
Serve your apple pie warm with a couple of scoops of ice cream.
