RECIPES

 

Old Fashioned Apple Pie Recipe

Two 9-inch pie crusts (one for the top crust, one for the bottom crust)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons butter
6 cups thinly sliced and cored apple

Mix sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and salt. Stir in the apples.

Place into pie crust, dot with butter. Cover with top crust, and slit evenly to let steam escape. Seal the top crust to the bottom by pinching the edges together.

Cover edge of the crust with a three inch strip of aluminum foil.

Bake 40-50 minutes, until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through top.
