Trinitarian Apple Pie

Crust
1 cup of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt
1/3 cup of Crisco shortening
3 tablespoons of ice water

Cut Crisco into the flour/salt mixture until the texture is like that of sand. Add the water, mix together and roll out the pastry and place in the pie plate.

Filling
Five or six Granny Smith Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Place sliced apples in a bowl, top with sugar and cinnamon.

Topping
¾ cup flour
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup butter

Mix flour and sugar together, cut in the butter.

Put the apple mixture in the prepared crust, and add the topping. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, and then 350 degrees for forty minutes.

Say a prayer of thanks to God and enjoy!
