Pie Crust:

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced

1/4 cup ice water

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. (1-2hrs is probably fine if you need to put a rush on it)

Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.

Glazed Apple Pie:

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup butter

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced (Might need another half apple…you could use half of a sweeter apple if you like.)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I grind my own cinnamon and use ½ -1 TSP, however much you like)

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1.) In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream, and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla; stir into saucepan. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.

2.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour, and cinnamon. Mix well.

3.) Line a 9 inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling. Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust.

4.) Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.

5.) In small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for AT LEAST 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better).
