Instructions for Blue Ribbon Apple Pie

For crust, combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with fork till mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in sugar, egg and vinegar.

For filling, combine ingredients (except apples and butter), add apples and toss to coat. Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat. Add apple mixture and cook till apples are slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 350. On a floured surface, roll out 1 dough piece to 14? diameter. Transfer to a 9? deep dish glass pie dish. Trim edges leaving 1/2? overhang. Fold overhang under and let rest on rim of dish. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans and bake 10 minutes. Remove beans and foil. Bake crust till crust has set but has no color, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool, leave oven on. For streusel, combine flour and sugar in bowl. Using fork mix in butter till coarse meal forms. Stir in toffee. On lightly floured surface, roll out 2nd dough disc to 14? diameter. Mound apple filling in prebaked pie crust. Sprinkle streusel over filling. Top with dough round. Trim dough leaving 1/2? overhang. Gently pinch crust edges together to seal. Brush pie with glaze.
