Instructions

  1. Prepare the Flaky Crust: In a food processor, combine ¾ cup flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and shortening; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Mix in remaining flour lightly.

  4. Make Creamy Sauce: Boil drained apple juice with heavy cream until thickened.
  5. Assemble Pie: Layer apple slices in the crust; pour sauce over the top.
  6. Make Streusel Topping: Combine flour, sugars, and melted butter until crumbly; sprinkle over pie.
  7. Bake: Increase oven temperature to 425°F; bake until topping is golden brown and filling bubbles (10-20 minutes). Cool before serving.
