This recipe is my own version of the first place winner in the Connecticut Two-crusted Pie final. The original used butter flavored shortening for the crust, instead of butter, and it only called for vegetable oil, instead of sunflower oil.
| 3⁄4 | Teaspoon | baking powder |
| 3 | Cup | flour |
| 1 | Cup | butter (+ 2 T to sprinkle over the filling) |
| 5 | Tablespoon | cold milk |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | salt |
| 2 | Tablespoon | brown sugar |
| 1 | Tablespoon | sunflower oil |
| 1 | egg white | |
| 1 | Cup | sugar |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | cinnamon |
| 1⁄4 | Cup | orange juice |
| 4 | Golden Delicous apples (peeled and cut into pieces) | |
| 4 | Cortland apples (peeled and cut into pieces) |
Crust
Sift dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt - twice and set in a bowl. Cut butter in the middle of dry ingredients. Rub in with your fingers to mix, until it resembles crumbles.
Sprinkle oil first then milk, 1 Tbs at a time, mixing well. Stop when a ball of dough forms.
Wrap in plastic film or kitchen foil and let it stand in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Divide it and roll out to make a top and a bottom pie crust.
Filling
Splash the apples with orange juice - to prevent discoloration - while you peel and chop.
Mix normal sugar and cinnamon. Combine with the apple pieces.
Pie
Preheat oven to 375° F (180° C).
Line a pie pan with the pastry. Fill with the apple and sugar mixture, packing firmly. Sprinkle butter dots on top.
Cover with top crust, seal the edges with a little milk. Make holes for steam to escape. Brush egg white, beaten egg or milk on the top to give it a shiny glaze when cooked.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour.
