INGREDIENTS
4 item Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced
4 item Gala apples, peeled, cored, sliced
1 1/2 cup cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup buttermilk

Cook down about 10 minutes until sauce forms but not until apples get soft; set aside.To make dough: In large bowl, using large fork, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in just enough buttermilk to pull dry ingredients together to form a loose ball. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Sprinkle small amount of flour on flat work surface. Roll one piece of dough; with tip of small knife, cut into quarter-size rounds. Fold each round in half and place on cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown; set aside.
Roll out piece of dough into 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Ease dough into 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour apple mixture into baking dish. Work folded rounds of baked dough into fruit. Roll out remaining dough and cut into ½-to-1-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips in lattice pattern (crisscrossed like a basket) across apples. If desired, cut out leaf designs from dough scraps and garnish top. Bake until crust is golden brown and flaky, about 30 minutes.
