Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, and sugar until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Spread into the bottom of the prepared pan. This is the crust.
Step 3
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until thick and pale. Add the brandy and mix well. Combine the remaining flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture. Mix in apples and walnuts. Spread the filling over the hot crust.
