Cup All−purpose flour  
Pinch Salt  
Teaspoon Sugar  
/4 Cup Solid vegetable shortening  
Tablespoon Ice water −; (to 4 tbspns)  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Add  
the apples and saute for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, lemon juice and flour.  
Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Season the apples with nutmeg, cinnamon,  
and salt. Mix thoroughly and remove from the heat. Cool the mixture. For the  
pie dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the  
shortening and work it in with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse  
crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and work it in with your  
hands. Add only as much as you need for a smooth ball of dough. Wrap the  
dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the  
dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut  
the dough into 2 halves. Lightly dust the surface with flour. Roll out each  
half of dough to 12 inches in diameter and about 1/8−inch thick. Fold one  
circle of dough in fourths. Carefully lift the dough and place in a 10−inch  
deep dish pie pan. Unfold the pie dough and spoon the apples into the pie  
shell. Place the second round of dough over the apples. Using a sharp knife,  
cut away the excess dough. Using your fingers, crimp the edges of the pie  
firmly to seal the dough completely. With the same sharp knife, make three  
slits, about 4 inches long and 2 inches apart, across the pie dough. Place  
the pie in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven  
and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Return the pie to the oven and  
continue to cook for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve warm  
with vanilla ice cream. This recipe yields 8 servings.
