Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add vegetable shortening and
mix with the flour until the mixture is uniform and shortening resembles
large peas. Beat egg, water and vinegar together to blend. Pour all the liquid
evenly over flour mixture. Stir in with fork until all the mixture is moistened.
Divide dough in half and shape each into a ball. Flatten each into a 4-inch
circle. Wrap and chill the dough for 15 minutes for easier rolling.
Dust the rolling pin and work surface lightly with flour. Roll dough to a
uniform thickness. Roll to a circle about 1-inch larger than upside-down 8-
inch pie plate. Carefully place on dough circle into pie plate and gently press
into the form of plate. Trim excess dough around the edges with the back of a
knife. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.
Mix the apple slices with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Place apple mixture in a
pie shell. Place second pie crust on top and form to the edges of the pie plate.
Cut slits in the top crust to allow for steam to release in oven. Bake for appro-
ximately 30-40 minutes, until pie is fully baked and apples are tender.

and just the right dose of afternoon sunshine. For this pie, choose a sweet
cooking apple that will remain firm.
Piled high with tart-sweet apples and covered with flaky-crust, this pie is the
type of dessert that evokes memories of the family.
