Ingredients:
7-8 cups of apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup regular sugar
1 teaspoon of sugar for topping
3 tablespoons of flour
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
Two prepared pie crusts (Pillsbury pie crusts will work in a pinch)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel, core and slice in 1/4″ thick slice the apples. Try a mix of apples, like Cortlands, Granny Smith, Ida Red, Macintosh- any firm flesh apple will do.
- In mixing bowl blend apples with 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup regular sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg.
- Prepare your favorite pie dough for two pie crusts.
- Spoon in the apple pie mix into the crust-lined deep dish glass pie pan, dot with a tablespoon of butter and place the top crust, tucking in the edges with the bottom crust. The pie mix will be a big hump in the middle. It will cook down during baking.
- Pierce the top crust in 3-4 places with a knife to allow the steam to vent. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar on the top of the crust.
- Place in a pre-heated 400-degree oven for about an hour. Cover the edges of the pie crust with a band of aluminum foil to keep the edges from over-baking and remove it after 45 minutes.
- When the pie crust is a nice light golden brown, remove and place on cooling rack. Serve warm.
