Apple Pies and Crisps

This week we were able to make and freeze 8 apple pies and 2 apple crisps from the apples we got from our cousins. That's two bags down, two to go!

Here is my pie crust recipe. Makes 5-6 crusts.

Leona's Pie Crust

5 c. flour

2 c. lard

Mix until crumbly like corn meal.

Then add:

1 egg-beaten with a fork in a cup (about 3/4 c. size-Leona just uses a tea cup)

Add:

1 Tbsp. vinegar

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. sugar

Fill rest of cup with COLD water.

Mix with flour/lard until it forms a ball.

Makes 5 or 6 crusts.
