Add the sliced apples to the syrup and simmer until the apples are tender. Remove the apples from the syrup and set aside.
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then blend in the flour. Pour this mixture into the hot syrup, stirring constantly until the syrup is smooth and thick.
-
Fold the cooked apples into the syrup mixture until well combined.
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare the pastry for a 9-inch pie by mixing shortening, salt, and flour until crumbly. Add 5 tablespoons of water and mix well, adding more water if necessary to form a dough.
-
Divide the pastry dough into two parts. Roll out one half and line a 9-inch pie pan with it, leaving about 1 inch of dough hanging over the edge.
-
Fold the extra pastry over toward the middle and flute the edges with your fingers to create a built-up rim.
-
Roll out the remaining pastry and cut it into narrow strips for a lattice top.
-
Spoon the apple syrup mixture into the pastry-lined pan.
-
Arrange 7 or 8 strips of pastry over the top of the pie, leaving diamond-shaped spaces between them.
-
Trim the ends of the strips, moisten them, and press them into the rim of the pie crust.
-
Lay more strips of pastry over the first set, perpendicular to the first strips, creating a lattice pattern. Trim, moisten, and press into the edge like the first set.
-
Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
