Tante'S Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons white sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup butter
    1/4 cup lard
    1 egg yolk
    2 tablespoons milk
    8 apples - peeled, cored and cut into thin wedges
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons butter, softened
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
    In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 teaspoons white sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/4 cup butter and lard until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Blend egg yolk and milk, add to flour mixture and stir until mixture forms a ball. Pat onto the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of an 8x12 inch baking pan. Arrange apple wedges in rows lengthwise on top of dough. Cover with streusel.
    To make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cut in butter and blend into coarse meal.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Cover with foil the last 25 minutes to prevent over browning.
