APPLE PIE

HOMEMADE PIE CRUST

2 CUP OF FLOUR

3/4 CUP OF SHORTENING

8 TO 10 TBP WATER

In large bowl add flour and shortening, kneed together,

gradually add water two tbsp at a time until the dough stays together and can form into a ball.

Make sure you add water a little at a time to insure you do not use to much water.

take ball of dough and place on table and roll it out to make the bottom crust of your pie. Once the dough is rolled and big enough to cover the pie tin, place the dough in tin.

You have to make two pie crust, one for botton and one for top.

I recommend that you make one at a time. Doubling the recipe to make two just does not come out right.

Apple Pie ingredients

Fill pie tin with apples. I fill it to where it is heaping.
