In charge of dessert for a fund-raising dinner at our church, I experimented and came up with this scrumptious pie made in a jelly roll pan. It fed a group and got rave reviews. With flavorful apples and maple syrup, it gives a true taste of the Northeast. -Alma Lynne Gravel, Trappe, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
1/4 cup water |
pinch salt |
1 cup shortening |

1 teaspoon vanilla extract |

1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed |
