De Luxe Apple Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup shortening
6 tbls cold water

2 tbls all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
5 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbls milk

DIRECTIONS:
To Make Crust: In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cup flour and salt. Cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water at a time to dough until it is moist enough to form into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with a piece of aluminum foil; it should cover bottom and sides of pan. Lightly flour the foil. Press the dough into the pan.

To Make Filling: In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently toss apples, raisins and walnuts with cinnamon mixture until coated. Fill the crust with the apple mixture.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool.

To Make Icing: In a small bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle over top of cooled pie.
