Buy eight Granny Smith apples from the feria on Saturday.

Buy butter, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, sugar, almond extract, two lemons from Lider

Juice two lemons into large bowl, add one cup water

Peel, core, slice apples into ten slices each, drop into lemon water and coat each slice

Lift apple slices out and into small pot, slowly let simmer with two thirds cup sugar
     and one fourth cup lemon-water, for ten minutes, or softened but not mushy

Pour hot apples and juice through strainer into bowl. Set apples aside to cool.

Pour juice back into small pot, add one half cup sugar, one teaspoon almond extract,
     one half tsp cinnamon, two Tbs cornstarch in one half cup water. When hot, add
     Tbs butter. Stir over medium heat till cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Mix two cups flour and two thirds cup butter till it looks like cornmeal.

Add one fourth cup ice water to flour mix, stir with fork till water is absorbed. Add
     enough water to gather up rest of flour mix. Knead in bowl three times.

Break off tennis ball size pieces of dough, roll out in round shape, about eight inches
     across.

Place rolled dough into small one cup size baking bowls. Fill with cool apples, pour
     cool sauce over apples. Fold overlapping dough up over apples

Bake at 375 to 400 degrees F till tops are lightly browned.

Remove from oven, let cool. Eat. Yummy
