ingredients
- 2 (18 inch) pie crusts
- 1419.54 ml thinly sliced peeled apples or 6 medium gala apples
- 177.44 ml sugar
- 29.58 ml all-purpose flour
- 3.69 ml ground cinnamon
- 1.23 ml salt
- 0.61 ml ground nutmeg
- 14.79 ml lemon juice
directions
- In large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; pierce the bottom pie crust with a fork. Spoon filling into the pierced crust-lined pie plate. Top with second pie plate crust. Be sure to discard the top tin. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute if you want. I sealed the edges with the teeth of a fork. Cut 3 slits or shapes in top crust to allow for ventilation and even cooking.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
- (Hint: While peeling apples soak them in water and lemon juice to prevent browning as apples are being prepped.).
