Granny's Apple Pie

2 cups plain flour + 2 Tbsp.
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
dash of salt
5-6 Tbsp. ice water
6 Stayman Winesaps, peeled, thinly sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
dash nutmeg
1/2 stick margarine (1/4 c.)
Make pastry for 2 pie crusts, using 2 cups flour. Cut in shortening. Add salt and sufficient ice water to make pastry consistency. Roll out half of pastry; fill pie pan or pyrex pie pan.
Toss apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 2 Tbsp. flour; turn into pie shell; dot with margarine.
Top with other half of rolled pastry, then cut several slits in top or cut in strips and weave your lattice top. Crimp edges to seal. Sprinkle with more granulated sugar. Cover with foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer.
