By Booper-2

Have a casserole baking dish? Then you're set to make this from-scratch deep dish apple pie, made with fresh apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 10 cups sliced peeled tart apples, about 8 apples
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Preparation

Step 1

Place flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening until crumbly. In a small bowl, whisk egg, water and vinegar; gradually add to crumb mixture, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a rectangle; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°F. For filling, in a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to apple mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a 13x9-inch baking dish; dot with butter.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim and flute edges. In a small bowl, whisk egg with milk; brush over pastry. Cut slits in top. Bake 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack.
