    Taste of Home

    List of Ingredients

    5-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 6 medium)
    1 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons water
    4-1/2 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    PASTRY:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup shortening
    5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
    3 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 tablespoon sugar

    Recipe

    In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, water, tapioca, cinnamon and nutmeg; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide in half, making one half slightly larger.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion of pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to plate; trim even with edge of plate. Add filling; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. Brush with milk; sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.

    Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 40-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.
