A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

A classic American dessert - made from scratch

2 cups white flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
5 tablespoons ice-cold water
8 apples, pared and cored
2 tablespoons white flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together the flour, salt, and shortening until crumbly. Add the water and mix well.
Thinly slice the apples.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon; add the apple slices and mix well.
Take 1/2 of the pastry and roll flat; place pastry in a 9" pie plate.
Fill with the apple mixture and dot with butter.
Take the remaining pastry dough and roll flat.
Place pastry on top of pie; crimp along the edges to seal.
Take a knife and cut slits into top of pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until crust is golden.
Let cool and serve pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

in this recipe it doesnt have a particular apple listed like other recipes iv seen.can we use the apple of our choice?

I thought the pie was leaning on the too sweet side. This could be because the recipe calls for 8 apples and I could barely fit 5 in. These were not particularly large apples either. But maybe it set off the sweet to tart ratio. otherwise it was pretty simple and baked well.
