["For the pastry:", "In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt. Using a pastry cutter, mix in the shortening and the butter. You want to keep mixing until the dough resembles peas and cornmeal.", "Add iced water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, until the dough comes together. You want the dough to start pulling together well, but not be at all wet. (Note: You want the dough to come together with the least amount of water possible to ensure that it is flaky. You should also try to handle it quickly and gently so as not to melt all the butter.) Work it into a ball, cut the ball in half, work each half into a disk and then wrap it it wax paper or plastic wrap. Let the disk rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.", "For the filling:", "Peel, core and dice your apples (1\" dice or smaller is best). Add the diced apples to a bowl waiting with the lemon juice. Swish them around with every addition of apple.""
