Notes: This recipe was my mom's, that she worked hard to perfect. She was 18 when she married my dad and as they both admit "not much of a cook". She told us that she tried many crust recipes before she found this one and she was happy when my Dad loved it. My mom worked for about 18 years at the apple orchard (Mueller's Orchard in Linden, MI) where we still get the apples for the Youth Group pies. Every year Mueller's gives us a nice discount on bushels and bushels of apples to help our fundraising. The first year we made pies, my mom was very excited for us and couldn't believe we made so many pies in so little time (about 100 pies in just over two hours!)....and the money wasn't bad either. For several years, she would hand pick the apples (usually about 10 bushels) from the bins and bag them for us. It touched me deeply when one of the guys in the youth group (John Leefers) called a few days after having the first pie
