Apple Pot Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large apples (use a good flavored baking apple such as Granny Smith)
1/4 cup butter
2 cups flour, sifted
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 2/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups water, boiling

Preparation

Pare apples, core and cut into eighths.
Cut shortening into flour and salt; add water to make a stiff dough.
Roll thinly, like noodle dough, and cut into 2 inch squares.
Arrange alternate layers of apples and dough in a kettle, sprinkling each layer generously with sugar to sweeten (according to sourness of apples) and cinnamon.
Dot the top layer of pastry squares with butter; pour in the boiling water and cover.
Cook over low heat without stirring for 25 or 30 minutes or until apples are tender.
Serve hot or cold.
