Apple Crumble Pie

ok for this one the look of the pie was so sad that i will not put up any pictures...but it tasted really good so i will put up the recipe...its again with the measurement of the ingredients...also the pie crust that i made was really good.like crumbly and all that so i thought everyone should know this one.


ok here's the crust receipe

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, very-cold,
• 1 teaspoon salt (now go easy on this one...i put in 1 teaspoon n my crust was pretty salty....more salty than i would have liked it to be)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 4 to 6 Tbsp ice water (i had this water ready but i didn really use it....the butter did all the job for me)...

chill the butter.i could skip this part cuz my mom put the butter in the fridge...but in case you are not that lucky i guess 1 hour in the freezer is ok...i wouldn know.
Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a mixer....i guess we can just mix it normally but today i wanted to get all fancy....i even put an apron on...so thats that.Add butter and mix until mixture is like a half kneaded dough...all crumbly to touch and with pea size pieces of butter in it. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time and knead a dough....the receipe that i was following asked me to knead it such that there wud be cubes of butter in the dough ("thats what makes the pie flaky") but well by the time i kneaded mine all the butter melted....and i didn even need to add the water...after this is done coat the dough with flour and cover it and put it in the refrigerator...i left it there for about 4 hours...not because i thought it was better for the pie but because my mom kicked me out of the kitchen because she wanted to make dinner (its a silent rule that when one cooks the other ones leaves...huh!!)...i left it on for 4 hours but that receipe says 1 hour is enough.again...i wouldnt know.
anyways after 4 hours i removed the dough....the butter in it had frozen so i had to wait for sometime for it to melt...then i rolled it as round as i could manage...onto my mom's borosil square dish (he he he)


and over this crust this is how i made my pie
