1 cup sugar
pinch salt
3 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp Chinese Five Spice powder (or one tsp ground cinnamon)

Sufficient for two 10 inch pie shells.
1 cup very cold butter cut into small cubes
2 ½ cups flour
1 tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp salt
1/4 to 1/3 cup ice water (Only enough to make a dough form.) mixed with
