5 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1-1/4 cups butter-flavored shortening
3 large eggs
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
10-1/2 cups sliced peeled tart apples (about 12 medium)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, water and vinegar; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
2
Divide dough in half so that one portion is slightly larger than the other; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
3
Roll out larger portion of dough between two sheets of waxed paper into a 17x12-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of pan; trim pastry even with top edges of pan.
4
In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Stir in cream.
5
In a Dutch oven, melt butter. Add apple mixture; cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until apples are slightly tender. Stir in walnuts and vanilla. Spoon into crust.
6
Roll out remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim and seal edges. Cut slits in top. Bake at 375u00b0 for 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
