Tips & Variations
-
Apple choice: Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn all work well.
-
Shortening substitution: You can replace half of the shortening with cold unsalted butter for extra flavor, but keep it cold.
-
Make ahead: Assemble the unbaked pie, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add a few minutes to the baking time. You can also freeze the unbaked pie for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding about 10–15 minutes.
-
Glaze option: For a sweet drizzle, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2–3 tablespoons milk or apple cider and drizzle over the cooled pie.
Enjoy this timeless, crowd‑pleasing dessert—it’s destined to become a family favorite!
