To make pastry, sift flour and salt into a bowl. With a pastry blender or two knives, work in butter or margarine until mixture is mealy. Mix slightly beaten egg yolks with cider and lemon juice. Dribble over flour-fat mixture; stir lightly until pastry holds together. Divide in half, and line a deep, 9-inch pie dish. Save remaining pastry for top crust. Chill both while you make filling.

Start oven at 350F, or moderate. Pare, core, and slice apples thinly. Mix sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and 1 tablespoon flour. Toss raisins in remaining flour. Now spoon about 1/3 of apple slices into pie shell; sprinkle with part of sugar mixture and some of raisins. Continue to layer filling in same order until all ingredients are used. Cover with top crust, slashed in several places; seal edges securely; crimp. Bake 60 to 80 minutes, or until crust is golden. Cool.

Last step: Mix 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons water. Spread over top crust, just as if frosting a cake,
