Are you ready to whip up something delicious for you and your someone special? This apple pie for two recipe is made with a homemade pie dough, fresh apples and plenty of sugar and spice!
Using a pastry blender or two forks, combine the shortening into the flour until it looks like cornmeal.
Using a fork, add the water one tablespoon at a time and incorporate the water into the flour/shortening mixture.
Keep adding the water, one tablespoon at a time, and keep stirring until the dough begins to come together, pulling away from the sides of the bowl and forming a ball of dough.
Remove the ball of dough from your bowl and shape it into a flat disc.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about an hour before using.
Add the sugar and cinnamon to the apples, then toss to combine.
Prepare the Pies:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to ⅛th inch thick and using the individual pie plate as a guide, cut out four circles; 2 for the bottom crusts and 2 for the crusts.
