📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the crust: Put the flour and salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter and shortening with a pastry cutter until it resembles tiny pebbles. Add the egg. Stir in the water and vinegar until just combined, adding a little more flour if the dough is too wet or a little more water if it’s too crumbly. Divide the dough in half; flatten into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for ⏱️ 30 minutes.

For the filling: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and lemon juice, then sprinkle in the sugars and cook, tossing, until the apples start softening, ⏱️ 5 minutes. Increase the heat to get the juices bubbling; cook until glazed, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, cinnamon and salt. Simmer just until the filling thickens, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Remove to a bowl and let cool.
3
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 13-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate. Add the apple filling and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
4
Roll out the remaining disk of dough on a floured surface into a 13-inch round. Lay the dough over the filling and fold the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges and cut a few small slits in the top crust. Chill for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
5
Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack; preheat to 450 ̊. Combine the coarse sugar, cinnamon and chile powder. Brush the pie with cream; sprinkle with the spiced sugar.
6
Put the pie on the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 375 ̊. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, ⏱️ 1 hour. (If the crust is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer to a rack and let cool.
