 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits
      Yield: 10 Servings

  2 1/2 c  A-P flour
    1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/4 c  Lard; cold
      6 tb Milk; cold, up to 8 tb

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
  2 1/2 c  Sugar
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Ground ginger
      9 c  Tart apples; peeled,
           - thin sliced
      1 tb Bourbon (optional)
      2 tb A-P flour
      1 ds Salt
      3 tb Cold butter; in cubes

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      1 tb Milk
      2 ts Coarse sugar

  In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in lard until crumbly.
  Gradually add milk, tossing with a fork until dough holds together
  when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in
  plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

  For filling, in a large bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Add
  apples and toss to coat. Cover; let stand 1 hour to allow apples to
  release juices, stirring occasionally.

  Drain apples, reserving syrup. Place syrup and, if desired, bourbon
  in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer,
  uncovered, until mixture thickens slightly and turns a medium amber
  color, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely.

  Set oven @ 400°F/205°C.

  Toss drained apples with flour and salt. On a lightly floured
  surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8" thick circle; transfer to
  a 10" cast-iron or other deep ovenproof skillet. Trim pastry even
  with rim. Add apple mixture. Pour cooled syrup over top; dot with
  butter.

  Roll remaining dough to a 1/8" thick circle. Place over filling.
  Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Brush milk over
  pastry; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place on a foil-lined baking
  sheet. Bake 20 minutes.

  Reduce oven setting to 350°F/175°C.

  Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 45 to
  55 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
