Instructions

  1. Combine flour, salt and shredded cheese into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender. Toss flour mixture with liquid until all flour is moistened.

Spread with apple mixture. Roll out remaining dough; place over apples. Seal edges of crust; make slits on top with knife. Beat egg white until stiff; brush over crust. Bake in a preheated 375 F oven until golden brown (about 1 hour).
