Maple Apple Pie.

For one pie: ¾ cup of lard, 3 or 4 good sour apples which have been pared and sliced; 1½ cups flour, ½ teaspoonful salt, 1 cup maple sugar. Mix the lard, flour and salt thoroughly, add just enough cold water to work it lightly together; the less you handle pie crust the better it is—just enough to get it into shape to roll. Roll and put on plate, spread the apple and add the sugar. Bake in a moderate oven.
