In a large bowl stir together dry ingredients for crust. Cut in vegetable shortening, butter and egg until small crumbles form.
Slowly add in cold water by tbsp. at a time. Mixing after each addition. Knead gently just until combined. Roll out on cookie sheet or parchment paper until 1/4 in. thick.
In a large saucepan on medium-low cook all apple ingredients until tender. Preheat oven to 350 F and bake for 1 hour.
