Ingredients

Pie crust:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup cold water (scant)

Pie filling:
7 golden delicious apples, pared, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Pinch of salt
3 rounded tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons butter

For crust: Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir together butter and shortening and cut into flour mixture with a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles crumbs. Add cold water all at once. Stir with fork until mixed and dough can be handled.
When ready to use, divide dough in half. Roll out each half on a floured board to fit the bottom and top of a 10-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in bottom of greased 10-inch pie plate. Reserve top crust to add after filling is placed in crust.

Place over medium-low heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove mixture from heat and toss with sliced apples. Turn into pie crust-lined plate. Place top crust, adding steam vents. Seal and crimp. Place pie on foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F. 45 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
