German Apple Pie


This is a delicious twist for an apple pie. I got the recipe out of the Taste of Home book. It will become a family favorite!

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. shortening
1 t. vanilla extract
2 to 3 T. ice water

Filling:
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 t. ground cinnamon
6 c. sliced peeled tart apples
1 c. heavy whipping cream

In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Add vanilla. Gradually add water, tosssing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Roll out pastry to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Transfer to pie plate. Trim and flute edges.

For filling, combine the sugar, flour and the cinnamon; sprinkle 3 tablespoons into crust. Layer with half of the apples, then sprinkle with half of the remaining sugar mixture. Repeat layers. Pour cream over all; try to moisten all cinnamon/sugar on top.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool. Store in refrigerator.
