Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup shortening, chilled
  • ¾ cup cold butter, cubed, divided
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
  • ¾ cup Pennsylvania apple wine, divided
  • 5 apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cups whipped cream

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. To make pie dough, in a medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Add shortening and ½ cup butter. Using your hands, crumble shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Add ice water and ¼ cup apple wine, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until it is just moist enough for dough to come together. Flatten dough into disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20–30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine apples, cinnamon and ½ cup apple wine.
  4. To make crumble topping, in a small bowl, combine ¼ cup butter and brown sugar together until it resembles a coarse meal.
  5. To assemble pie, once dough is chilled, roll it out and line a pie tin. Fill with apples and cover with topping.
  6. Bake 40 minutes, until the crumble and crust are golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve with whipped cream.
