Apple Cider pie

Double layer Crust
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 Cup Shortening
1/4 cup butter cut into pieces
1/2-2/3 cup Ice water

Mix flour and salt
Cut in butter and shortening till pea sized
Spoon one or two tablespoons of water in the mixture stir with fork then press sticky dough to side of bowl.
Repeat this process till dough comes together.
I cut the dough into two wrapped in plastic and put in the fridge for an hour.
After chilled take dough and roll out 12" round pastry and roll over rolling pin.
Unroll over pie plate fill then trim the sides.
Repeat process for top layer

Filling

Core and slice 6 cups of apples thinly.
Use 2 tablespoons of flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
Zest of one orange.

Mix flour sugar and spices in bowl.
Add in apples and orange zest.
Mix till coated and place in pie crust.

Top pie as noted above.
Brush crust with milk and sprinkle sugar to add color and sweetness to crust.

Place tinfoil over the edges of the pie crust to prevent burning.
Bake at 375° for 30 minutes remove foil and bake another 30 to 45 minutes till the fruit is done.
