• 2¼ cups All-Purpose flour
• 1¼ tsp Table Salt
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 5 tbsp Cold Vegetable Shortening
• 8 tbsp Ice-cold Water
• 1 Egg
• 2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1/3 cup White Sugar
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
• 6 medium-sized Apples 

• In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, along with butter, salt and vegetable shortening.
• Blend the flour mixture well, using a hand blender. While blending, add the ice-cold water slowly into the mixture.
• Now, make a large dough ball by kneading the flour with hands.
• Divide the dough into two equal halves.
• Wrap one of the halves in a plastic sheet and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. Keep the other half aside, for later use.
• Using a rolling pin, flatten the refrigerated dough on a floured countertop.
• Roll the dough to form a circle shape, about 2 inches larger in diameter than the pie pan.
• Wrap the flattened dough completely around the rolling pin.
• Take the dough off the rolling pin and transfer it to a pan. Be very careful while doing this, as the dough may tear if you apply force.
• Press the dough gently against the sides of the pie pan.
• Tear off the overhanging edges of the dough. You may also cut them neatly, using a knife.
• Refrigerate the pie pan, containing the dough, for about fifteen minutes. 

• Peel off the skin of the apples. Slice the apples into small cubes, each having a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
• In a small bowl, mix the apple pieces with white and brown sugar.
• Add salt, lemon juice, flour and cinnamon to the mixture and refrigerate it for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll the second part of the dough on the floured countertop, just like the refrigerated dough.
• Cut the flattened dough into long strips, each 3 inches wide. Set the pieces aside, for later use.
• Take out the filling as well as the pie pan from the refrigerator.
• Pour the filling into the pie pan and spread it out evenly.
• Coat the edges of the pie pan with beaten egg.
• Take the sliced pieces of the dough and place them over the filling, in a criss-cross pattern. Leave even space between each slice.
• Slice off the overhanging edges of the dough slices. Secure the edges of the slices into the pan, by pressing them down onto the rim.
• Brush the top of the criss-cross pattern with beaten egg, to create the brown crust and then dust it with cinnamon powder and sugar.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
• As soon as the color of the top crust becomes golden brown, switch off the oven.
• Take out the apple pie from the oven and allow it to come down to the room temperature.
• Your delicious apple pie is ready! Wait for about an hour, before serving it, along with whipped cream.
