Ingredients
1 1/3 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crisco
3 tablespoons ice water
4-6 apples (1/2 pippin, 1/2 golden delicious green)
1 lemon
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation
Crust: Combine flour and salt in bowl. Cut on crisco with pastry blender or 2 knives, I cup at a time. Until mixture is uniform. Sprinkle a few drops of water at a time over the flour mixture. Toss w/a fork, then push moistened part aside and continue w/ remaining water and flour. Work dough into firm ball. Press dough into 2 flat circles. On lightly floured area, roll big enough to fit pie pan.
Filling: Mix sugar salt and cinnamon. Sprinkle a layer in crust. Then a layer of apples, squeeze lemon over apples (watch for seeds) repeat finishing with sugar mixture. Put bitter or margarine over top in chunks (1 in middle and about 5-6 around edges) put 2nd crust over. Put milk and sprinkle sugar over top for glaze. Cut designs for air. Bake 425 degrees for 30-40 min. Poke knives into apples. Crust might get over done-okay!
