• 5-7 tablespoons ice cold water
• 2 teaspoons cream

Instructions

• 1 Mix together flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• 2 Using a pastry blender, blend together chilled butter, lard and flour until
  crumbly (pea size chunks).
• 3 Start by blending 4 tablespoons of ice-cold water into the flour mixture.
• 4 Add more water a tablespoon at a time until mixed and dough sticks together when
  pressed. Do not make it too wet, just enough water to have the dough come
  together.
• 5 DO not over-mix the dough or your pie crust will be tough.
• 6 Divide in half, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• 7 While the dough is chilling, in a large bowl toss together apple slices, white
  and brown sugar, tapioca and cinnamon.
• 8 Roll out pie dough to make two crusts that cover the pie plate with about an
  inch excess.
• 9 Place one crust in the bottom of the pie pan.
• 10 Pile high with apple filling, cover with the other pie crust. Pinch together the
  crusts to seal the edges.
• 11 Brush the top of the crust with a bit of cream.
• 12 Sprinkle top with white sugar and cinnamon.
• 13 Cut slits in the crust to vent the pie as it bakes
• 14 Bake in the oven on the middle rack at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour
  The top should be golden brown.
• 15 Cover the edge with a pie shield or foil if the edge starts to brown too much
  while baking.
