FRENCH APPLE PIE WITH A FROSTING GLAZE TOP

Steps:

• TIP:( Use your favorite baking apples a combination of Granny Smiths (for their tart flavor and crisp texture) and Cortlands (for their sweetness and softer texture) is nice. Northern Spies or Ginger Golds are wonderful, if you can get them. ).
• For the filling*: Bring the apple cider to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat about 20 minutes, until reduced to about 2/3 cup.
• For Crust:.
• Combine the flour, salt and sugar, cinnamon in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture. With the machine running, add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until clumps form. Mold the dough into two balls, shape into disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a 13-inch round. Roll it up on the rolling pin and unroll it on the top of the pie. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch rim of dough. Fold that under and crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork. Slit the top crust with a knife a few times to let the steam escape. Or you can use a refigerated pie crust mix from the store.
• This pie crust is a lot easier to roll after it has chilled for two hours. It then absorbs less flour when rolled. The lemon juice will tenderize the gluten while baking--there is no need for any special precaution in rolling. The large circle of dough can be easily manipulated into the pan by first folding it in four, and then unfolding right in the pan, where the pan provides support. Your recipe directs the filling to be cooked and added to the rolled dough without saying anything about any cooling time. Using a hot filling makes the pastry get soggy in the oven.
