Apple Pie by Request

A colleague and friend asked for an apple pie recipe. This one we all enjoy. It takes time to make, but is very good. Also, I added about a 1 tablespoon more of butter and about 1/4 cup more of sugar and my family seemed to like better (of course, who wouldn't).


Pastry: (2- 9 inch crusts)
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
2 to 4 Tbsp. water

Measure flour and sift with salt. Add shortening. Cut in. Add water, one tablespoon at a time. Stir with a fork to get all flour coated. Roll into 1/8 inch thick. Divide dough in half. Roll only one half of the crust into round for bottom of pie plate.

Apple Mixture:
1 can pie apples or 5 cups sliced apples
1 tsp. lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Mix ingredients and heat in frying pan on range before pouring into pastry. Pour apple mixture on top of crust. (Heat enough to soften the apples.)

With the remaining crust, top apple mixture with crust by forming a lattice with the crust.  Bake about 30 minutes at 350ยบ. From Dibba Spears by way of Kelly Adrian
