Apple Pie

Apple Pie

Ingredients for 8-inch pie:

• Pastry for 2 8" crusts (top and bottom)

• 1/2 c sugar

• 3 T flour

• 1/4 t nutmeg (but we just use another 1/4 t of cinnamon instead)

• 1/4 t cinnamon

• Dash of salt

• 5 cups of thinly sliced pared tart apples (about 5 medium)

Ingredients for 9-inch pie:

• Pastry for 2 9" crusts (top and bottom)

• 3/4 c sugar

• 1/4 c flour

• 1/2 t nutmeg (or more cinnamon)

• 1/2 t cinnamon

• Dash of salt

• 6 cups of thinly sliced pared tart apples (about 6 medium)

Instructions (regardless of size):

• Pre-heat oven to 425º F

• Prepare pastry.

• Mix dry ingredients. Stir into apples.

• Pour apples into pie crust.

• Cover with top crust with slits cut into it.

• Bake 40 to 50 minutes (usually 50).

• Pie is done when you can push a fork into the top with very little resistance. It depends on how firm you want the apples. We like them at "apple-sauce" firmness.
