2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 c. shortening
3 egg yolk plus milk to make 2/3 c.
1 egg white - beat stiff for topping
Filling
8 - 10 cups thinly sliced and peeled apples
2 T. lemon juice
1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar (use 2 c. for tart apples)
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/4 c. butter to dot on apples prior to putting on top crust
Frosting
1 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 T. hot water
Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare crust, divide in two--roll one thin in a bun pan, and the other half thin over parchment/wax paper in another bun pan for top crust. Prepare apples and lemon, mix all spices and stir together. Pour over bottom crust, dot with lots of butter so it won't boil over. Top with top crust. Brush whipped egg white over top. Bake for 45 minutes. When nicely browned, take out and immediately drizzle with frosting.
