 4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening, cold
 1/2 cup butter, cold

4 each of a combination of three different apple varieties (I used Granny Smith, Fuji, and Gala apples), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch slices
2 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1-1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup butter (melted)

Mix all ingredients together with a fork until come together in a ball slightly. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half of the dough on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin and place into a large oblong dish push the dough up the sides. Placed sliced apples in the prepared dish; set aside. In a large saucepan, heat, sugar, cinnamon, 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) and water over medium heat until butter melts. Pour over the apples in the prepared dish. Roll the other half of the dough on a slightly floured surface and cut 1/2 inch strips and place a row going diagonally 1/2 inch apart on top of the apples. Place another row of strips going the opposite direction 1/2 inch apart.
