Ingredients

Pie Dough (1 - 9" pie crust)

Water, boiling 1/3 cup.

All Purpose Flour 2 1/4 cups.

Baking Powder 1/2 tsp.

Salt, table 1/2 tsp.

Wesson Canola Oil 2/3 cup.

Method

Dough

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
Pour Wesson Canola Oil over dry mixture.
Measure out boiling water carefully into a measuring cup and pour over oil. Mix until a uniform dough is formed.
Divide the dough into two pieces, one approximately 2/3 of the dough and one 1/3.
Roll the 2/3 piece of dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a ~12 inch circle. Pieces of the dough can be cut and pressed into shape to help maintain a round shape.
Lift the parchment paper and invert the dough into the pie pan, pressing into shape and leaving some overhang.

Apple Pie Filling

In a large bowl toss together all apple pie filling ingredients. Spread apple pie filling into the prepared bottom pie shell.

Assembly Method

Preheat oven to 350°F
Roll out the 1/3 dough ball into a 10″ round between two pieces of parchment paper. Use the parchment to invert the dough onto the pie and crimp the two layers of dough together. Trim any excess dough with a knife.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the top of the pie crust. Sprinkle the top of the crust with sugar. Cut a vent hole in the top of the pie with the tip of a knife.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350°F for 60-70 minutes until pie is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
Let cool for 1 hour before serving.
