Steps:

• Roll out pastry and line pan.
• Make 2 (9 inch) shells.
• Thorough chilling before rolling makes pastry easier to handle.
• For filling, line pie pan with one pastry shell and fill with sliced apples.
• Mix and sift dry ingredients over the apples.
• Add water and lemon juice; dot with butter, then top with secondary pie shell.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until pie filling is done and pie is golden brown.
