Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Filling:
6 apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, or more to taste
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Whisk 2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly.
3
Whisk water, eggs, and lemon juice together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough forms a ball. Split dough into halves; roll each half into about a 9x13-inch rectangle. Press 1 rectangle into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4
Place apple slices in a large bowl; add sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Toss apples to coat; spread over crust. Cover apple filling with remaining crust, piecing together any scraps to cover any holes. Cut several slits into top crust for ventilation while cooking.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are browned and crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool to room temperature before cutting into squares, about 30 minutes.
