You can decorate your pie to celebrate the season. Instead of a simple top crust, I made a decorative design with braids and leaves.

Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to mix.

Add the butter and shortening and pulse about 10 -12 times until the fat is cut into the flour mixture and its pea size.

Pour in about ⅔ of the ice water and pulse a few more times until a ball begins to form, adding more water as needed. Be careful not to overmix.

Scrape dough onto the counter, divide it in two, and form into two flat discs. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.

I especially like the apples very thinly sliced instead of cut into chunks. The apples cook down evenly and create gorgeous layers in every slice.
