1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. & 2 tbsp. shortening
1/4 c. milk

Cut shortening into dry ingredients. Add milk and blend. Let rest a few minutes. Roll 1/4 inch thick on floured surface and cut 3 x 1 inch strips.

APPLE MIXTURE:

1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. water
3 apples, peeled, cored & sliced

Combine dry ingredients, add liquid and apples. Cook stirring until mixture is boiling and thickened. Drop in strips and transfer to casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. I use more liquid as we like a juicier pie. Any fruit will do - peaches, pears, blueberries.
