-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
For the crust: Combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter flavor shortening using a pastry blender or 2 knives until all flour is blended in to form pea-size chunks.
-
Combine water, egg, and vinegar. Pour into the flour mixture. Mix lightly with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
-
Divide the dough in half. Press between hands to form two 5 to 6-inch pancakes. Wrap in plastic or aluminum foil and refrigerate.
-
Flour a rolling surface and pin lightly. Roll the dough for the bottom crust into a circle, trimming it 1 inch larger than an upside-down 9-inch pie plate. Loosen the dough carefully, fold into quarters, and unfold. Press into the pie plate, trimming the edge even with the pie plate.
-
For the filling: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter flavor shortening with a fork until crumbs form. Toss the apples with the crumb mixture.
-
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle the fresh apple cider over the filling.
-
Roll the top crust the same as the bottom. Use a cookie cutter to make a cut-out in the center and remove it. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and cinnamon.
-
Bake the top crust separately. Place it on top of the pie halfway through the baking time of the bottom crust. Lift the top crust onto the filled pie and press the edges together. Cut even with the edge of the pie plate.
-
Use a tiny apple cutter to make vents in the top crust for the escape of steam. Use the cutter to make additional tiny apple cut-outs from extra pastry. Brush the rim with water and press the apple cut-outs gently in place all around the edges.
-
For the glaze: Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with the granulated sugar.
-
Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes. Cover the edge of the pie with foil for the last 10 minutes if necessary to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool until barely warm or to room temperature before serving. Makes one 9-inch pie.
