_Pastry for two-crust pie._—Double the recipe for baked pastry shell.
Form dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out
larger ball and fit into piepan. Roll remaining dough for top crust;
make small slits to let steam escape during baking. Put filling into
pastry-lined pan and top with second crust. Fold edges of pastry under
and press together firmly to seal. Bake as directed in pie recipe.
Apple pie
_9-inch pie, 6 to 8 servings_
Pastry for two-crust pie (p. 21) 1
Sugar ¾ cup
Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
Cinnamon ½ teaspoon
Apples, tart, pared, sliced 6 cups
_Preheat oven to 400°F. (hot)._
Prepare pastry.
Mix dry ingredients lightly with apples in a bowl. Put filling into
pastry-lined 9-inch pan. Top with second crust. Fold edges of pastry
under and press together firmly to seal.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is lightly

Apple turnovers
_6 turnovers_
_Pastry_
Flour, unsifted 1½ cups
Salt ¾ teaspoon
Shortening ½ cup
Cold water About 3 tablespoons
Butter or margarine 2 tablespoons
_Filling_
Apples, tart, pared, sliced 1½ cups
Sugar ¼ cup
Salt ⅛ teaspoon
Cinnamon ¼ teaspoon
Nutmeg ⅛ teaspoon
Mix flour and salt thoroughly. Mix in shortening only until mixture is
crumbly. A pastry blender, two table knives, or a fork may be used for
mixing.
Add water, a little at a time, mixing lightly. Dough should be just
moist enough to cling together when pressed. Shape dough into a ball.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface until dough is about 12 by 12
inches. Dot with butter or margarine.
Fold pastry so that two sides meet in center. Press folded pastry with
fingers. Fold ends to center and press with fingers.
Wrap in waxed paper and chill.
Divide pastry into six balls. Roll each ball out on a lightly floured
surface to make a 6-inch square.
_Preheat oven to 400°F. (hot)._
Place about ¼ cup apples onto half of each pastry square about ½ inch
from edges so that when top is folded over the turnover will be
triangular.
Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle apples with sugar
mixture.
Moisten edges of pastry squares. Fold pastry diagonally over apple
mixture. Seal edges with a fork. Prick tops of turnovers.
Bake until lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes.
