Apple Pie

5 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/3 cup flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup crisco

2 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

3 T. water

extra flour for rolling

1/2 stick of butter

To make crust:

Cut in flour, salt, and crisco until crumbly. Add enough water to make a ball form but not too much. Divide dough into 2 equal balls. On a lightly floured piece of waxed paper, roll one ball out to size of pie plate. Drape dough over pie plate using wax paper and rolling pin to guide. Peel away wax paper and discard. Form into pie plate.

Cut up 1/2 stick of butter and arrange into bottom of crust.

Combine apples, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Microwave for 30 seconds. Pour in to pie shell. Roll out remaining dough using same technique as above. Lay over top of apples. Cut hole in crust to vent. Seal edges using fork or fingers.

Bake at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. TIP: put a baking sheet under pie on next rack down to catch drippings from baking pie.
