Combine apple slices, tapioca and lemon juice in a 9 x 13 inches glass baking dish. Stir in cinnamon, 1-1/4 cup sugar and a dash of salt. Let stand 15 minutes to soften tapioca, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, mix flour and salt in another bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water lightly with a fork until dough just holds together. Preheat oven to 375° F. Shape dough into a 5 x 7 inches rectangle. Place on a lightly floured work surface and roll out to about 10 x 14 inches using a floured rolling pin. Place dough over apples. Trim edge, leaving at least 1-0/1 inch overhang. Fold overhang under and make a fluted edge. Cut 3 slits in crust. Brush top of crust with water and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 55 minutes or until bubbly and crust is golden. Cool on wire rack.
