Heirloom Apple Pie

So I've decided to give it up. I'm sharing the recipe. For years I've been fiercely protecting the recipe with my life, only to learn that other members of my family have already shared it with non-family members... It's been in my family for several generations, with everyone adding their own little touches, making it what it is now. I have a hard time trying to eat any other apple pie. It's so simple and so good.
