Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mix flour and salt, then add Crisco and work with fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add cold water. Gently mix until flour is moistened without overmixing.
Split dough into two pieces, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Roll out one disc on a floured surface into a circle about 1/4" thick and large enough to hang over a 9" pie plate.
Line the pie plate with the rolled-out dough, then roll the second disc into strips about 1/4" thick for the top.
Place the strips on a sheet tray and chill while preparing the pie filling.

Notes

For a golden crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the perfect dessert experience.
Ensure to use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a balanced flavor.
