Ingredients

• I can apple pie filling (Or use this delicious recipe for Apple Pie Filling)

• 3 cups All-Purpose Flour

• 1 tsp. Salt

• 1/2 cup Cold Butter

• 1/2 cup Shortening

• 2/3 cup Ice Cold Water

• 1 egg

Ensure Everything is Cold when you Make this

It is crucial that your butter, shortening, and water are cold. I highly recommend putting your water in the fridge with ice in it.

This is the key to a nice flaky crust.

Mix the Dough

Whisk together the flour and salt.

Cut in cold butter and shortening until they are the size of peas.

You can use a knife if you don't have a pastry cutter.

Slowly add a tablespoon of water at a time until dough is moistened and holds together.

Roll it Out

Gently fold dough a couple times and split into two sections.

Roll the dough until its 1/8 inch and resemble two large rectangles.

Cut each rectangle into 4-to-5-inch sections.

Fill and Bake

Place about a tablespoon of filling on each section slightly off center for easy sealing.

Beat one egg.

Brush egg along edges of each section and fold.

Using a fork, gently press down were the edges overlap.

Bake for an hour or until dough golden brown.
