1. 1 Stew sliced apples, prunes, sugar, lemon rind, and water in a saucepan until apples are soft.
2. 2 Remove prunes, pit them, chop into small pieces, and return to apples; cool the mixture.
3. 3 Sift flours, sugar, spices, and salt together. Cut in Crisco until fine, then rub lightly to incorporate air.
4. 4 Add lemon juice and enough cold water to form a stiff paste. Divide dough into two equal pieces.
5. 5 Roll out one piece and line a wetted dinner plate. Sprinkle with cake crumbs, then spread the cooled fruit mixture.
