Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup shortening
5 -6 tablespoons cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 -5 apples, medium-sized (peeled, cored & sliced)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles pea-sized crumbles. Work in cold water until a loose (but not too dry or too moist) pastry dough forms. Into a 10 x 13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, press into a 10 x 13 inch baking pan (small cookie sheet).
  • Combine apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice until thoroughly coated. Arrange in a thin, even layer atop pastry dough.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until a crumbly texture forms. Sprinkle atop apples.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes or until apples are tender, and the crust and topping are lightly browned.
