PREPARE THE APPLES: Peel, Core, and slice apples thinly, and place in a large bowl. Cover apples with sugars, flour, vanilla, and spices, and Mix well with apples; Set aside. At this point, PREHEAT OVEN to 350. PREPARE THE DOUGH: Mix Salt, Flour, and Shortening in mixer- then add ice cold water. Remove dough, divide in half, and roll out one half using flour to keep from sticking- Reserve the other half for top crust. Line 9 inch pie pan with half dough; Allow 1/4 inch extra dough to stick out- you'll pinch it with the top crust later. Put apple mixture into crust-lined pan. Roll out top crust and cover apples. FINISH THE PIE: Gently Pinch bottom and top crusts together, and Flute edges of dough (make it pretty). Poke several fork holes in top crust, and Dot crust with butter and Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 65-70 minutes. Allow to cool 20 minutes before serving plain or with vanilla bean ice cream, cool whip, or whipped cream; This also warms up great in the microwave. And, by all means, ENJOY!
