Easy Apple Pie
Just yum! It’s good cold, lukewarm, very warm, hot and ala mode. Its autumn and it’s required that all people all over must eat apple pie! Yes, it’s a must and I know why. Because it tastes so DELICIOUS!
Starting with a pretty pie plate makes it tastes better.
I like to use a very large bowl so I can be largely sloppy. Under these dry ingredients are slices of Johna-Gold apples. That’s my pick, if you’re asking; however, your choice is best for you.
Tip: If you’re in a hurry, just use a prepared pie crust. I love Pillsbury. It has a great flavor and makes for a very flakey crust.
- 6-8 large apples, peeled cored and sliced
- Scant C of sugar
- ⅓ C flour
- pinch of salt
- ¾ t nutmeg
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 t. lemon juice
- 3 T butter
- Crust for a 2-crust pie
- Fit 1 crust into pie shell. (Mine happened to be for a 10" pie.)
- In a large bowl, add apples, sugar, flour, salt nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon juice. Give it a good stir.
- Place filling into pie shell.
- Dot the top of filling with butter chunks
- Add top crust. Seal top and bottom edges together and well. Crimp edges if you'd like, or use a decorated pie plate like you see in the photos where it is already fluted.
- Cut decorative slits in the top for vents.
- Dampen the top crust with a bit of water. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon
