Step #2 Put the flour and salt in a bowl big enough to work in half the shortening with your pastry mixer.
Step #3 Put the remaining shortening in the mix till it looks mixed, but lumpy.
Step #4 It's okay to handle the mix at this point, but once you start to add the ice water, overhandling will make the crust tough, so try to keep handling to a minimum.
Step #5 The water should be ice cold & added slowly, mixing a little with a spoon after each addition.
Step #6 When dough starts to hold together a bit you can grab hold of it with your hands to form it into a ball.
Step #7 Be sure to use plenty of flour on your hands and on the wooden board, where you'll roll it out.
Step #8 Transfer the dough to a floured board.
Step #9 Roll the dough as thinly & evenly as possible.
Step #10 Transfer dough to pie pan.
Step #11 FILLING: Recommended apples: Paula Reds are first choice, or Cortlands Once the apples are processed they can be mixed with the other ingredients.
Step #12 If the apples aren't very juicy, you may want to cut back on the amount of flour a little.
Step #13 Add cinnamon & nutmeg.
Step #14 TOPPING: Cut the butter with a knife then mix it with the other ingredients.
Step #15 Mixture should be a little lumpy.
Step #16 Spread evenly over the top of the apples.
