Apple Squares

Don't remember where I found this recipe, but it was a favorite all the years the kids were growing up. Even remember making if for our Lamaze group while waiting for Courtney! Apple pie in squares.

Crust:
3 cups flour
1 cup Crisco
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup orange juice

Filling:
5 medium apples, pared and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 T flour

For crust, combine all ingredients. Divide in half. Spread half on bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. (roll as a pie crust, push into corners,etc.) Combine filling ingredients and spread over crust. Dot with butter. Cover with remaining crust. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar.  Bake 15 - 20 minutes(or until slightly browned on top)  in a 375 degree oven.
16 - 20 squares
