-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4 Cup Unbleached Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
2/3 Cup Vegetable Shortening
6 Ounce Cheddar; Sharp, Shredded
Water
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar; Firmly Packed
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon; Ground
6 Each Apples; Pared And Cored
1/4 Cup Butter

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour and salt, mixing well, then
cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sir in the
cheese and sprinkle with water while mixing lightly with a fork, (From 6 to 8
Tbls of water maybe required), continue mixing until dough makes a ball.
Divide the dough into three equal portions and roll each portion, on a lightly
flour surface, into a 14 X 7-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 2 7-inch
squares.
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then fill the centers of the apples
topping each apple with butter. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture
over the pastry. Place an apple in each square and fold the corners to the
center, pinching the dough at the top of the apple to seal. Bake in the
preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Top with whipped cream.
