Directions
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Divide dough in half and shape into two discs.
Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Roll out one disc of dough and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
Pour apple mixture into pie crust and dot with butter.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the top of the apple mixture.
Trim and crimp edges of the pie.
Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Over the years, Dorina dedicated her life to her family as a stay-at-home mom. However, she found her escape and joy in cooking. For Dorina, cooking became an art form, much like painting or singing. It was her therapy, a way to express herself. She was fortunate enough to travel all over Europe and America, meeting amazing people and seeing magical places. Now, she wants to share her talent with you while teaching and entertaining you at the same time. Dorina’s painting starts with fun recipes and a mission to find the right colors, in the form of fresh and, if possible, organic food. She loves using gadgets that make cooking faster and easier, some of which you will be able to find on Amazon. And of course, any good artist always has a collection of interesting cookbooks to pull from. She is honored to bring this joy and laughter into your kitchen, sharing her funny and crazy personality with you all. So let’s all welcome Dorina and her Italian cuisine into our own kitchens, in TUA Cucina con Dorina. Grazie!
