I found my mom's pie crust recipe in a church cookbook:) I made this apple pie this morning and it looks decilous.

If I can make this pie ctust..anyone can:)

**When making a double crust pie, pour 1/8 cup milk over top crust and sprinkle sugar over. It really adds to the crust:)

Pie Crust:

1-1/3 Cups Crisco Shortening

3 Cups Flour

1/2 Tsp. Salt

1 Tsp. Baking Powder

1 T. Vinegar

1 Egg

5 T. Cold Water

Use a Pastry Utensil to cut Crisco Shortening, Flour, Salt and Baking Powder in a large bowl.

Mix 1 egg, 1 T. Vinegar, and 5 T. COLD WATER in a small bowl.

***I put crushed ice in a bowl and then put the water in.

Add egg mixture to the flour mixture; using a mixer; mix well.

Shape dough into 2 even disks.

Put dough disks in a food storage bag and refrigerte for at least a half hour. You want the dough disks to be cold before rolling out.

Put a piece of wax paper on a cutting board; put one of the dough disks on wax paper, lightly flour on top of dough disk and rolling pin; roll out dough to fit your pie pan.

Once the dough is rolled out; flip the wax paper over onto pie plate.

Pinch any loose dough together if broken; fit dough in pie plate.

Roll out second dough disk.

Apple Pie Filling:

Sprinkle Brown Sugar over bottom crust of pie crust.

Slice 7 Apples and put in large bowl. Add 3/4 cup sugar, sprinkle cinnamon in to your taste; 1/4 cup flour and 2 T. Blue Bonnet Margarine; mix well.

Put apple mixture over the brown sugar and spread evenly over the bottom crust.

Flip second pie dough disk over apple filling; crimp pie edges.

Pour 1/8 cup milk over top crust and sprinkle sugar over.

Make slits on top crust using a sharp knife.

Bake apple pie in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour.
