Strawberry Apple Pie

Recipe Source:
Delicious Pies and Tarts
from Great American Recipes

Serving Size: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Amount	Ingredient
Pie Shell:
1 1/2 cups	all-purpose flour
Dash	salt
1/2 cup	shortening
2 tablespoons	butter or margarine
3 tablespoons	ice water
Filling:
1 pint	cleaned hulled strawberries
2	small apples, peeled, chopped
1/3 cup	granulated sugar
1/3 cup	brown sugar
3 tablespoons	cornstarch

Preparation Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
2. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water. Quickly mix to form a dough.
3. For filling, hull and slice strawberries. Mix with chopped apples.
4. Blend together sugars and cornstarch. Mix with fruit for filling, toss gently.
5. On lightly floured surface roll out 2/3 of dough. Ease dough into a pie plate. Trim edges.
6. For top crust, roll out remaining dough. Cut small holes for steam to escape.
7. Pour pie filling into pie plate. Top with remaining crust.
8. Bake pie at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until crust is lightly brown and apples are soft.
9. If pie crust seems to brown quickly, cover top with foil to prevent overbrowning.
Tips: Mix pie dough quickly or it will become tough. Don't use too much extra flour when rolling dough out. A pastry blender is perfect for cutting in fat in flour mixture.
