[ Cooking club]

Gam: yay finally you're back...

Kate: ( smiling).. yes gam,come help me .

Alex: hi p gam

Gam : hi Alex ...{happily} .

Kate: lets begin, we've got alot to do ,Alex over to you.

Alex:. {Alex begins explain and practicalizing } First thing's first, we need to prep the ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together 2 and 2/3 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt, then chill in the fridge.

Next, in separate dishes, place 1 cup shortening and 3/4 cup cold water in the fridge, until they are chilled.

Once the shortening and water are chilled, remove from the fridge and add them to the large bowl with flour and salt.

Then in a pastry blender, or two knives in scissor fashion, cut the flour mixture and shortening until it resembles coarse crumbles. There should be some larger pieces of shortening that are still present in the mix. Ultimately it will look crumbly.

add 1/2 cup cold water to the bowl and mix by hand. Continue to add more water, but only just enough to make the dough start to form a ball of dough,

Once you have made your dough, divide it into two equal-sized balls. Flatten into disks by using the palm of your hand and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is chilling in the fridge, wash, core and peel 6 to 8 apples.

Cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices (or however thick you prefer). Then, in a large bowl, mix the apple slices with 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Make sure that the apples are completely coated.

Once you have your apple filling made, roll out one ball of dough to at least 2-inches larger than the pie plate you are using and then line the pie plate. This will help when attaching the top crust to the bottom crust.

First, roll out the second ball of dough until 1/8-inch thick. Next, select which type of design you would like to use to create the border where the bottom and top crusts join.

create vents by cutting the top bit of dough a few times with a pairing knife. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover the edges with aluminum foil so they don't burn. Return to oven and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Once finished baking, remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

Alex: and we are all set ....{smiling with achievement}.

Gam: wow so beautiful

Kate: Alex you did great

{Everyone cheering}

Alex: we all did p Kate .

Kate: Alex here take these and share with your friends

Alex: thanks p Kate...{smiling}
