Ingredients

For the crust

2 cups all purpose flour
1½ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
4-5 tablespoons ice cold water

For the filling

6-8 apples peeled and sliced
1½ cups sugar
1½ cups water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. To make the crust, sift together the flour and salt. Pour the oil and cold water into a measuring cup, but do not stir. Add all at once to the flour mixture. Stir lightly with a fork until the mixture forms a ball. Do not over mix. Divide the dough in half. Roll out each ball between wax paper.
To make the syrup, combine the sugar, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and add the butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
Line a well greased 9 x 13 casserole dish with half the crust. Fill with peeled and sliced apples. Place several thin pats of butter on the apples.
Pour the syrup over the apples and lay the top crust in place. Poke with a knife or cut with a cookie cutter in several places. Bake 35 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.
