This pie is absolutely delicious! If you’re a beginner, use a store-bought pie crust to get a head start. You’ll still get a bushel of compliments. —Virginia Olson, West Des Moines, Iowa

Ingredients:
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/4 cup cold water
•
• FILLING:
• 5 large tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 5 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
•
• TOPPING:
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cold butter

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle.

2. Preheat oven to 450°. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges.

3. For filling, place apples in crust. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples.

4. For topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 50-60 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
