To celebrate my divorce from the previous season…even if she hasn’t received the memo yet…I made this delectable “Fall” Dutch Apple Pie for my good friend and her husband when they came to visit! Once cooled, keep covered.I’m kicking that Diva to the curb! Anyone else tired of the heat and sweating? It’s time to turn my back on her (Yep…summer is a “she”! Hot, stubborn, and unrelenting! lol) I’ve decided enough is enough!

If needed, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time. Pulse until the dough begins to hold together. Add the egg, vinegar and 2 teaspoons of ice cold water.Pulse several times until the mixture is crumbly, but still has large chunks of butter. Combine the flour, salt and butter in a food processor.Cut the cold butter into 1/2-inch thick cubes.Refrigerate the dough while you’re preparing the filling. Crimp the edges and press a fork into the bottom of the crust several times. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, trim away the extra pie crust or fold under the edges. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface.Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Press the dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, about 5 inches wide.Then slowly add the water into the flour mixture until the dough begins to stick together.

Starting with the egg and vinegar, blend until mixture is crubmly. Add the cubes of butter and continue pulsing until the mixture is crumbly. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt and pulse gently to combine.The recipe I use only requires about 60 minutes. Some crust recipes require a long period of time in the fridge or freezer. Prepare your pie crust and have it all ready to go before you start your filling. Lastly, you’ll assemble a quick crumb topping and sprinkle it over the pie before baking. First, you’ll make the pie crust, then the filling. There are three steps needed to make this homemade apple pie.
