Ingredients
- All-purpose flour - 1-1/2 cups
- Salt - ½ tsp
- Shortening - ½ cup
- Cold water - 2 to 3 tbsp
- Filling -
- Tart apples (sliced and peeled) - 4 cups
- Sugar - ½ cup
- Ground cinnamon - ¼ tsp
- Topping -
- All-purpose flour - ½ cup
- Sugar - ½ cup
- Baking powder - ½ tsp
- Salt - ¼ tsp
- Egg - 1
- Butter (melted) - 2 tsp
- Vanilla extract - ½ tsp
- Flaked coconut - ¼ cup
Instructions
- Add 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ tsp salt to a large mixing bowl, and stir the contents of the bowl until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Slowly cut in ½ cup shortening until mixture in the bowl becomes crumbly. Add 2 to 3 tbsp cold water gradually and simultaneously toss the mixture with a fork until it assumes the shape of a ball.
- Preheat an oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- As the oven preheats, transfer the contents of the mixing bowl onto a flat surface and roll with a rolling pin until the pastry formed is big enough to fit a 9-in. pie plate; flute edges.
- Mix 4 cups tart apples (sliced and peeled) and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon and pour the mixture into the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Add ¼ tsp salt to a small mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients and then add 1 egg, 2 tbsp melted butter and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract; simultaneously stirring contents of the small mixing bowl.
- Add in the last ingredient i.e. ¼ cup flaked coconut and carefully spoon mixture in the small mixing bowl over hot apples.
- Your aim should be to cover the entire surface properly.
- To complete the recipe, bake for another 30 minutes and check if the apples are tender. Keep on baking till that happens.
- After the pie is made, let it cool on the rack for 15 minutes.
- After then allow it to reach room temperature. Do not eat it hot, as the fillings can burn your mouth.
