Preparation
Step 1
Add water to the egg and whisk together, reserve 1 tbsp. for brushing dough.
Cut both shortenings into the flour with a pastry cutter to a pea size consistency. Add the egg mixture. Toss to coat. Gently form mixture into a ball. Refrigerate for 1 hr or up to 3 days ahead.
Roll out dough to 2" wider than your pie plate on a lightly floured surface or between 2 pieces of wax paper to approximately 1/4" thickness.
Dock or pierce the dough all over. This will allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges decoratively or cut leaf shapes with a sharp knife using extra dough and press onto edges.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Step 2
Filling:
Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Do not over mix. Scrape into the pie shell. Smooth top.
Step 3
Brush the remaining egg over the crust edges and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 min. until the crust becomes golden.
Can be prepared baked and frozen up to 1 month
