Green Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Pastry
    2 cups sifted flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon sugar
    1 cup shortening
    6 tablespoons ice water
    Filling
    6 -8 tart green apples, peeled, cored, sliced
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon water
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons flour
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation
    For pastry, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening.
    Add water 1 tbsp at a time, using only enough to make a workable paste (too little will make it crumbly). This pastry, being exceedingly rich, must be handled deftly.
    Roll out pastry and line pan.
    Make 2 (9 inch) shells.
    Thorough chilling before rolling makes pastry easier to handle.
    For filling, line pie pan with one pastry shell and fill with sliced apples.
    Mix and sift dry ingredients over the apples.
    Add water and lemon juice; dot with butter, then top with secondary pie shell.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until pie filling is done and pie is golden brown.
    If pie crust starts getting too dark before it is done.
    Cover with aluminum foil.
    ENJOY!
