By LadyRev-2

This was mom’s Pillsbury Grand National Bakeoff recipe. She was so annoyed because the officials changed the name of the pie to Apple Cream Pie.

Ingredients

• 1 C. Flour
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 C. Shortening
• 3-4 Tbsp. Water

• 1 Tbsp lemon Juice
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/4 C. Flour
• 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour with salt and cinnamon in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture is size of small peas. Sprinkle water, a little at a time over mixture while tossing and stirring lightly with fork. Add water to driest particles, pushing lumps to side, until dough is moist enough to hold together. Put in 9 inch pie pan. Fill with filling. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then at 350 for 45-50 minutes.


Sprinkle lemon juice over apples. Place apples, round side up in pastry lined pan.
