This is the recipe for my mom's specialty, apple pie, which I love. When apples were in season, I always asked her to make a lot and sometimes took it to my friends place.
I am not good at remembering things, so I switched few steps of the recipe process I learned.

I make the apple jam a day before and let it cool. The pie pastry will be loose If the butter is soft, so do not bring the butter to room temperature and keep it in the refrigerator until just before using.
The pie pasty will be more delicious if you fold and roll it out many times. Recipe by Hitineran
