Note: If using apples, substitute 1/2 cup sugar for 1/2 cup brown sugar and add 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Mix together fruit, sugar, and cornstarch in a large pot. Cook over low heat until fruit is tender and the mixture is thick.
Crust:
Measure flour into a medium sized mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut in shortening until it forms pea-sized balls. Using a fork, stir in water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Form two balls and roll out on a lightly floured surface to form two 1/8 in. thick pie crusts. Place in a 9 in. pie pan.
Pour in fruit mixture and add the second pie crust on top. Trim edges and crimp shut with a fork.

INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups milk
* 1 tablespoon melted butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat all ingredients together very well and pour into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Pie will quiver. This is ok! The top will be puffed up when you remove the pie from the oven and will fall down after it has cooled. This is ok, too! Best served at room temperature. [ jordanff's advice column | Ask jordanff A Question ]
