***CRUST***

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 stick chilled unsalted butter -- sliced

1/3 cup chilled vegetable shortening

1/3 cup sugar

1 large egg -- well beaten

1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

2 tablespoon ice water -- approximately

***FILLING***

2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1-1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 stick unsalted butter

4 pounds tart green apples -- cut 1/4

For crust, combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with fork till

mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in sugar, egg and vinegar. Mix in just enough ice

water, 1 tbs. at a time, to form dough that holds together. Divide dough in half, flatten each

half into disc, wrap each in plastic and chill 4 hours. For filling, combine ingredients (except

apples and butter), add apples and toss to coat. Melt butter in large skillet over medium

high heat. Add apple mixture and cook till apples are slightly softened, about 10 minutes.

Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 350F. On a floured surface, roll out 1 dough piece to 14
