Aunt Pat's Southern Apple Pie
  1. Start with your crust. Combine flour, salt, butter, and shortening in a food processor. Alternatively you can whisk flour and salt together and then cut in the lard and butter until the mixture looks crumbly. Add water to form a ball.

  2. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. You can also freeze the crust.

  3. To make the pie filling, melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add flour to make a bubbly, pasty roux. Add granulated and brown sugar. Bring to a bowl.

  4. Peel and slice apples.

  5. Roll out one of the pie crusts to fit a 9 inch pie pan. Add apples and pour roux mixture over the apples.

  6. Roll out second crust. Place the crust over the top of your apples and pinch together. Don't worry if the crust isn't perfect (mine never is:)

  7. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. for another 30 -35 minutes or until brown and bubbly.

  8. Serve warm with ice cream or whipping cream.
