2. Sift all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) together.
3. Kneed oil or butter in with your fingers. 

4. knead in egg
5. Add enough cold water to get the desired consistency for the dough (about 1/4 cup will do).
6. Once topping is applied, bake in a 400 F oven for 8-10 minutes.  I cook mine for 20 min.  Just keep an eye on it..

I added them to a slow cooker and cooked for 10 hours on low.  After 8 hours I added more 4 more apples.
