In a large bowl combine apples, water, lemon juice, lemon zest and ginger. In a small bowl combine sugar, tapioca, cinnamon and nutmeg, then add it to the large bowl. Toss and coat; let stand for 15 minutes.
Combine 1 ½ cup flour, salt and sugar in a food processor with about 2 second pulses. Add butter and shortening, then process for about 15 seconds. Add remaining flour and pulse 4-6 seconds. Empty the mixture into a medium bowl; sprinkle with vodka and water. Fold and press until it is just tacky and sticks together. Divide the dough into two even balls. Wrap each ball in plastic then flatten and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. When ready to use, flour a table then take each ball and roll to the size of your pie plate.
Place bottom pie crust in the pan; add filling and dot with butter. Place the top pie crust and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
