INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

For filling, combine all ingredients; set aside.  For crust, sift
together flour and salt.  Cut in shortening until  mixture resembles
coarse crumbs.  Stir in oats.  Sprinkle water by  tablespoonfuls over
mixture; stir lightly with fork until just  dampened. (If necessary,
add another tablespoon cold water to make  dough hold together.) Form
into ball.  Turn out on lightly floured board or canvas.  Divide dough
in half.  Roll one half to form a 13-inch circle.  Fit loosely into a
9-inch  pie plate. Trim, allowing 1/4 inch beyond rim.  Fill with apple
mixture. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.  Roll other half
of dough to form a 12-inch circle.  Cut slits in shapes of apples and
leaves to allow steam to escape.  Adjust crust over filling; trim so
crust extends 1/2 inch beyond rim.  Fold top crust over bottom crust.
Flute edges.  Bake in preheated  very hot oven (450 F.) about 10
minutes.  Reduce heat to 375 F.  Bake  30 to 35 minutes longer or until
apples are tender and crust is  golden brown.  Source: Our Favorites
