Keep cutting the butter together with Crisco until they are the size of pocket-sized peas.  Add the H2O ice mutual depression temperature H2O all at the same fourth dimension together with blend amongst a fork only until it forms a ball.

Taking attention non to overwork the dough, shape into a ball together with refrigerate piece nosotros ready the apples.
