 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/3   c            All-purpose flour
    1/2   c            Enriched Corn Meal
                       -- (Aunt Jemima or Quaker)
  1       t            Salt (optional)
    1/3   c            Margarine or butter -- plus...
  2       tb           Margarine or butter
    1/3   c            Vegetable shortening
  6       oz           Shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2   c            Ice water
  8       c            Peeled, sliced apples
                       -- (about 8 medium apples)
    2/3   c            Sugar
    3/4   ts           Cinnamon

 Combine 2 cups flour, corn meal and salt.  Cut in 1/3 cup margarine and
 shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese.  Add
 water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring lightly until mixture forms a
 ball.  Divide dough into 2 parts, 1 slightly larger; shape each to form
 ball.  Wrap securely in plastic wrap or wax paper; chill about 30 minutes.
 Roll large ball on lightly floured surface to form 11-inch circle.  Fit
 loosely into 9-inch pie plate; trim.  Roll remaining dough to form 12-inch
 square.  Cut into 12 x 3/4-inch strips.*

 Heat oven to 400 F.  Combine remaining 1/3 cup flour, apples, sugar and
 cinnamon; spoon into crust.  Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons margarine.
 Weave strips atop filling to make a lattice crust.  Trim even with outer
 rim of pie plate.  Fold lower crust over strips; seal and flute.  Bake 30
 to 35 minutes or until crust is light golden brown, shielding edges with
 aluminum foil if necessary.  Cool slightly.

 *NOTE: To make a double crust pie, roll remaining dough to form 10-inch
 circle instead of cutting strips.  Prepare filling as directed.  Place top
 crust over filling; trim.  Turn edges under; flute.  Cut slits in top
 crust to allow steam to escape.
