                        thinly sliced (cortland preferred)
     1/4           cup  brown sugar
     1/4           cup  granulated sugar
     1/2      teaspoon  cinnamon
  3        tablespoons  flour
  1               dash  salt
  1         tablespoon  butter (dotted on before top crust goes
                        on)
                        Crust:
  2 1/2           cups  flour
     1/2                teapsoon salt

                        Approximately 6 tablespoons ice cold water

Preparation:

Filling: Sprinkle sugars, cinnamon, flour and salt over sliced apples and blend well. Crust Sift together flour, salt and sugar. With pastry blender, cut in shortening and butter until well blended and crumbly. Sprinkle ice water over flour mixture one tablespoon at a time and mix until it forms a firm dough. Divide and roll out two crusts. Place bottom crust in a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Add filling. Dot on Butter. Place top crust over filling and seal and flute the edges. Slash a few vent holes on top with a sharp knife.( I like to get a little creative here sometimes and make designs) Bake at 4500 for first 10 minutes and reduce heat to 3500 and continue baking for approximately 45 more minutes.
