How to Make Apple Pot Pie
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out thinly, about 1/16 inch thick.
- Use a 2-inch cutter or knife to cut the dough into squares.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot (at least 6-quart capacity), arrange alternating layers of apple slices (about 6-8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced) and pastry squares. Sprinkle each layer of apples generously with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Adjust the sugar based on the tartness of your apples. Taste a slice and adjust accordingly.
- Dot the top layer of pastry squares with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water into the pot.
- Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the pastry is cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
