Cut butter and shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles small peas. Mound flour mixture on 1 side of bowl.

Repeat procedure with remaining 7 Tbsp. cider and flour mixture, adding up to 2 Tbsp. cider, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until a sandy dough forms. Shape dough into 2 disks; wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour.

Roll 1 dough disk into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate; trim dough 2 inches larger than pie plate. Stir together egg and 1 tsp. water. Stir together 1/8 tsp. cinnamon and remaining 2 tsp. sugar. Set mixtures aside.
