How to make apple pie:

Place 2 1/2 c. flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut small teaspoon sized pieces of lard into the flour, about 5 pieces at a time, with a hand pastry cutter or fork. When all the lard is worked into flour, should have a crumble like look, start adding cold water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until flour mixture pulls away from sides of the bowl. Separate dough into 2 equal parts, cover, and refrigerate while preparing apples.

Note: This crust recipe is enough for two 9 inch apple pies, and the leftover dough can be frozen.

For the filling, in large bowl, add apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp. water. Stir well. Cut tiny pieces of butter into apples, using 2/3 of the stick. Sprinkle flour over apple mixture, stir and toss well. Cover and set aside. Using 1/2 of dough mixture, separate into 2 equal pieces. Flour rolling surface and dough lightly, and roll out 1 crust for the bottom, and place in pie pan. Add apple mixture. Cut remaining butter into small pats. Roll out crust for top of pie. Place over apples. When the top crust is trimmed and pinched shut, cut several slits in it. Bake at 375 degrees for about 70 minutes or until crust is a light/medium golden brown. About 5 minutes before pie is to come out of oven, lightly coat top crust with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Return to oven for final 5 minutes. You can also prepare a powdered sugar drip glaze, once the pie is completely cooled, by making a drip glaze frosting of 2/3 c. powdered sugar in
