APPLE TWISTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water 4 large Granny Smith apples 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/3 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 1/4 cups water Vanilla ice cream for accompaniment
Combine flour and salt; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, evenly over surface; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball; chill. Peel and core apples; cut each apple into 8 wedges. Sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside. Roll pastry into a 10 x 16-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Cut into 32 (10 x 1/2-inch) strips. Wrap 1 strip diagonally around each apple wedge. Arrange in a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Brush with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over wedges. Pour the water around wedges. Bake at 400*F for 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is lightly browned. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired. Makes 8 servings.
