Gram Marg's Apple Pie

Crust:
2 c. flour
1 c. shortening
1 t. salt

Cut flour with shortening and salt.

Add:
2-6 T. ice water (depends upon humidity)

Filling:
7-12 Macintosh Apples
1 c. sugar
1 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. vanilla

Mix.  Let sit.  Place in 9" crust.  Sprinkle with brown sugar.  Dot with butter.  ADd 1 T. water if it seems dry.

Bake for 10 minutes at 500 degrees, then 50 minutes at 350 degrees.  You can tell it is cooked all the way by cutting a knife through the apples - no resistance means they are cooked all the way. Drape with tinfoil to avoid edges being burned.
