One Jar Homemade Apple Filling

Double Crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup Vegetable Shortening
6-8 Tbls. water

Stir flour and salt. Blend in shortening with a fork until size of small peas. Sprinkle 2 Tbls. water and continue to blend. Repeat until all is moistened. Divide into 2 balls. Spread plastic wrap on table the size you will be rolling dough out.

Place dough on plastic wrap and flatten. Add another layer of plastic wrap over top of dough. Use rolling pin to roll out dough between wrap layers into a circle slightly larger than the pie tin. Take one layer of wrap off and place dough into pie tin. Remove 2nd layer of wrap.

Now add pie filling from jar. Repeat rolling out process for 2nd layer of dough. Place on top of pie and join top and bottom layers. Use a knife to cut a few holes in top of dough to let steam vent. You can do a cute pattern such as an apple. Place pie on cookie sheet so it doesn't drip in your oven.

Bake 425 for 10 min, then turn down oven to 375 for 45 min. Enjoy!
Note: This Apple Pie Filling Jar will make one 8" pie.
