Ingredients:




----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------


     8 c  Apples, Peeled & Sliced


    12 oz Frozen Apple Juice


          -Concentrate


     1 ts Cinnamon





-----------------------------------CRUST-----------------------------------


 1 3/4 c  All-Purpose Flour


   1/4 c  Whole Wheat Flour


   1/4 c  Apple Juice Concentrate


   1/4 ts Salt


    12 tb Sweet Butter





 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the apple slices, apple juice and


 cinnamon in a large saucepan. Leave the saucepan uncovered. Simmer over low


 heat until most of the liquid is absorbed into the apples, stirring


 occasionally. The apples will be ready after about 30 minutes. Cool


 slightly. Combine the white and whole wheat flours and salt in a bowl.


 Combine 1/3 of the mixture with enough of the apple juice to form a paste.


 Cut the butter into the remaining flour mixture until it resembles coarse


 meal. Stir in the paste. Form a soft dough but do not knead. Roll out half


 the dough and fit into the (9") Pie Plate. Fill with the cooked apples.


 Roll out the remaining dough and form a top crust. Place the top crust over


 the filling and press the edges together with a fork. Prick a few vents in


 the top crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375


 degrees. Bake until golden brown (15-20 minutes). Serve warm, at room


 temperature or cold. Excellent with sharp cheddar or vanilla ice cream.
