4 cups flour

1 3/4 cups Crisco

1 T sugar

2 t salt

1 T apple cider vinegar

1 large egg

1/2 cup ice water

Mix all together using a mixer. The dough is moist like cookie dough. Refrigerate before using. Can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer.

For Apple Pie I use different kinds of good tasting apples. I also peel, core and slice the apples and put them in the microwave until hot. It cuts 1/2 the baking time and takes away some of the juice. It also helps keep the crust from burning. I do put foil around the side of the pie crust before baking. Start baking at 400 degree for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 350 and bake for 20-30 minutes more or until apples are tender.
