Make your crust. Start by adding 2 cups of flour into a large bowl. Then add in 1 cup of lard broken up into chunks.
Use a fork or pastry cutter and start mixing the lard into the flour. Mix it together just enough that it starts to incorporate and create a crumbly mixture. You don’t want to over mix it though and don’t worry if there are still some big chunks of lard.
Start adding in ice water to your dough mixture. Start with about 1/3 of a cup and gently start mixing it into the dough. If your dough still seems dry and is not sticking together, add in a tablespoon of water more at a time until your dough comes together. During this phase keep in mind that less is better. If you over mix the dough that is what ...
Once your dough has come together, split the dough into two portions. One being just a bit bigger than the other. The larger portion will be for the bottom crust and the smaller portion will be for the top crust.
Roll out the bottom crust onto a floured surface. If the dough it sticky continue adding flour to the surface and on top of your dough until it no longer sticks to your rolling pin. Then use a thin spatula to lift the dough off of the surface and place it in a pie dish.

Measure out 1/2 cup of sugar and sprinkle about 1/3 of it over your apples. Then sprinkle with cinnamon. Continue adding apples and sprinkling with remaining sugar and cinnamon until you have added in al...
Add on your top crust. Then cut off the extra crust hanging over the edge leaving a about an inch. Then fold the bottom crust over the top crust and pinch together. Then to create a scalloped edge, use your thumb and index finger on the inside edge of the crust and use your index finger to press the crust in between your fingers.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Then turn down the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 35-45 minutes until the apples are soft. I like my apple mixture more like applesauce and so I bake my pies until the apples are really soft. But this part will be your preference. Keep an eye on the crust and if it is golden brown and the apples feel soft enoug...
