6 cups	1422ml	Macintosh apples - sliced (large)
1/2 cup	80g / 2.8oz	Light brown sugar
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Granulated sugar
2 teaspoons	10ml	Cinnamon
1 teaspoon	5ml	Allspice
1 teaspoon	5ml	Nutmeg
		Crust
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Flour
1/2 cup	118ml	Vegetable oil
1/4 cup	59ml	Milk
5		Salt

Recipe Instructions

Prepare the crust by mixing the flour, oil, milk, and salt. Separate into two balls, and put each between 2 pieces of wax paper to roll out, as the crust will be very flaky. Make bottom crust and place in 8-9 inch pie plate, depending upon size you want.

Preheat the oven to 425F In a large bowl, put the apples, sugar, and spices. Cut through with a knife to create the appearance of chopped apples. Put mixture in pie plate, and dot with a few pats of butter and a few teaspoons of flour.

Roll top crust out, and put on pie. Slit the pie, and put in oven. Be sure to put a lining underneath the pie or a cookie sheet as the pie is sure to run over.

Bake at 425F for 10 minutes, and then reduce oven heat to 350F and bake for 50 minutes or until both top and bottom crusts are brown.

Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Prepare the following glaze:

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla milk to make a glaze While the pie is still hot, brush this glaze on top of the pie and be sure that the glaze drips into the slits.

Cool, and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

This recipe comes from my mother-in-law who worked in a bakery in Kilkeel, County Down, Northern Ireland in the 1940's. It is the flakiest crust you will ever make.
