Grandma's Apple Pie

From linda mccartney's cookbook.

In a medium bowl , beat the butter or margarine and cream cheese together until smooth.

Work in the flour to make a soft dough.

Divide the dough into two balls , wrap them , and chill them in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.

Mix the sliced apples with the cinnamon , sugar , and lemon juice , reserving a little sugar and cinnamon.

Mix well.

On a lightly floured surface , roll out one ball of pastry and use it to line a deep 10-inch pie dish.

Bake the pastry blind.

When the pie shell has cooled , fill it with the apples , piling them higher in the center.

Roll out the other pastry ball thinly and gently lay it on top.

Press the edges together , trim off any excess pastry , then mark the edges with a fork and prick the top of the pie several times.

Mix the reserved cinnamon and sugar together , and sprinkle the mixture on top of the pie.

Bake at 375 f for 35-40 minutes , until the topping is golden brown and the apples have cooked.

Cover the pastry , including the rim , w.
