Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour with salt. Cut in shortening with two knives until the shortening is the size of peas. Add water slowly until you can gather the dough into a ball with a fork.
Roll out dough and cut into 5 squares. Put an apple in teh center of each square.
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Fill the center of each apple with the sugar mixture. Put a dab of butter on top of each. Bring pastry up around the apple to make a package, dabbing edges with a bit of water if necessary to seal. Chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until apples are tender.
Serve warm wit hard sauce.

Hard Sauce:
