Why I Love This Recipe

Use the quantities of apples for size pie as indicated in any of your cookbooks.

For the pie crust, I have always used the standard 1 part shortening to 3 parts flour and a speck of salt, but never worried about handling the dough or cutting in shortening, just use my fingers and don’t get the shortening too well blended with flour.

Understand the new method of oil is very good and very easy. You might try it.

I like to put some canned milk on the top crust, just spread a little with your fingers, it gives the pie a nice, brown look.
