Ingredients
  

  • Pie Crust for a double crust pie
  • 2 1/2 pounds Golden Delicious apples peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 to 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine the apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.

  • Give everything a toss and let stand for 15 minutes, stirring a few times.

  • Meanwhile, roll out your pie crusts. I pretty much had the sloppiest crust in all of pie crust history. But who cares? It still tasted amazing. Even though I burnt it a little. You'll see in a minute.

  • Fill the crust with the apple mixture. Next time, I will add an extra apple or two. I like a puffy-top apple pie. Scatter the butter over the top of the pie.

  • Cover the top with the second crust. See, you can’t even tell how ugly my bottom crust is.

  • Cut a few slits in the top to let steam escape. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

  • Bake the pie for 30 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven. Slip a baking sheet underneath of it, and reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake until the fruit feels just tender when you poke a knife through one of the steam vents. The juices will thicken and they will bubble through the vents. A very beautiful thing. It should take another 30 to 45 minutes more.

  • If your crust gets too brown like mine did, you can make tin foil ring to cover the edges. I got there too late.
