Pastry
4 1/2 C flour
3/4 tsp salt
4 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 C shortening
3 egg yolks
10-12 Tbsp lukewarm water
Mix dry ingredients until well blended. Cut in shortening. In a separate bowl, mix eggs and water. Add to flour mixture. Mix well until dough forms into a ball. Roll out half of dough 1/4" thick, place in cookie sheet with 1" edges to form bottom crust.

Filling
14-16 granny smith apples
2 Tbsp flour
2 C sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2-3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Peel and core apples; slice and arrange on bottom crust. Blend flour, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples, dot with butter pieces and lemon juice. Roll out remaining dough to cover fruit and seal edges. Cut 3 small slits in top. Bake, 1 hour, on middle shelf in oven. To catch drippings, place larger pan on lower shelf.

Glaze
2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp butter, softened
4 tsp warm water
