Directions

  1. Make dough: In workbowl of a food processor fitted with metal blade combine flours and salt. Cut butter and lard into small pcs, add in to workbowl and process 5 seconds. Add in cheese and pulse on-off 2 times to mix. With motor running, pour in sufficient vinegar mix in a slow steady stream for dough to create a ball; process 10 to 15 seconds. Turn dough out onto work surface. If dough appears too dry, work in 1 to 2 more tsp. water. Specks of butter and cheese will be visible in dough. Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerateat least 2 hrs or possibly overnight before using.
  2. Make filling: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. As you slice apples, toss them gently with lemon juice. Whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, add in to apple slices and toss gently to coat proportionately.
  3. Divide dough into 2 unequal pcs, making piece for top crust slightly larger. On a lightly-floured work surface roll smaller piece into an 11-inch round. Line pie plate with bottom crust and fill with apples. Using your hands shape them into a firmly-packed mound slightly higher in center than at sides; dot with butter. Trim edges of bottom crust to a 3-inch overhang. Roll out remaining dough to an 11-inch round and arrange over filling. Trim edges of top crust to a 1-inch overhang, fold top crust under edge of bottom crust and flute edges decoratively, pressing together with your thumb and forefinger. Cut three 1 3/4-inch slashes in center of top crust.
  4. Bake pie 20 min. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue to bake 30 to 40 min more, till pastry is golden and juices are bubbling. Ten min before end of baking, brush top with egg glaze and sprinkle with sugar. Cold on a wire rack before serving slightly hot or possibly at room temperature.
