  1. Make the pie shell. In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter or Crisco and work into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter.

  3. Make three indentations into the dough and add
  4. tablespoons of the ice water. Toss together with your hands. Work quickly; do not overwork the dough. If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add
  5. remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough tightens up.
  6. Divide dough in half and flatten into disks. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour before rolling.
  7. Between two pieces of plastic wrap, roll one of the disks into a 10-inch circle. Put dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate and trim evenly along edge, leaving about a ½-inch overhang. Pinch to form a decorative the edge. If the dough begins to soften, chill for 15 minutes.
  8. Make the filling. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  10. In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Pour filling into the prepared pie shell. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F. and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack at room temperature.
