the Amazing Apple Pie

The pie crust was evenly cooked, the crust (likely due to the magic of Crisco) had the
texture of a sugar cookie, and the filling was delicious—the apples were held together by the tapioca and melded with the cinnamon, but still slightly crispy. It may not be the exact recipe of The Elegant Farmer's (and if it is, they won't tell me), but you can be sure I'll be baking future pies in parchment paper.

For the dough:

• 2cups sifted flour
• 1teaspoon salt
• 9tablespoons shortening (Crisco, if possible)
• 3tablespoons butter
• 2 to 3tablespoons cold water

For the filling, assembly, and baking:

• 5apples (I used a 2 honeycrisp, 2 macoun, and 1 granny smith)
• 1teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4teaspoon tapioca powder (or equivalent tapioca pearls)
• 2/3cup sugar
• 1/3cup all-purpose flour, plus more for assembly
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• hite of 1 egg
