How to make apple pie:

Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in half of the shortening until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Cut in remaining half of shortening until mixture is uniform, working quickly. Sprinkle ice water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, over dry portion of mixture. Stir quickly to moisten, push to side of bowl, sprinkle more ice water on another dry portion of mixture. Continue until all is moistened, adding water a few drops at a time if necessary just until mixture holds together in a ball. Divide dough in half, roll out half on floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Fit loosely into 9 inch pie dish.Filling: about 5 large tart apples (Granny Smith variety is good)2 Tbsp. flour plain1 c. sugar, or to taste dash salt generous dash nutmeg, ground1/4 tsp. cinnamon, ground1 - 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine Peel, core, slice apples into thin wedges. Mix 2 Tablespoons flour, sugar, salt, and spices. Stir together with apples until coated. Place into crust in dish, dot with the butter. Roll top crust, place over apples, seal and flute top and bottom edges of crust (moisten edges of crust for better sealing). Cut slits in top crust. Bake in 400° preheated oven about 50 - 55 minutes or until crust is nicely browned. Cover edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil while baking if needed to avoid over-browning edges.
