Classic Apple Pie

Ingredients

  • 6-8 tart apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup sugar depending on how tart your apples are
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice optional, if your apples are sweet rather than tart
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Dash ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 2 pie crusts

Instructions

  • Make your pie crusts. Standard and low fat versions are here. 
  • Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Sprinkle the lemon juice on the apple slices if they are sweet apples. Mix the apples and the sugar mixture together.
  • Put one pie crust on the bottom of the pie pan.
  • Put the apples on top and spread out.
  • Cut the butter into a few pieces and put on top of the apples.
  • Top with the other pie crust and cut a few vents for steam to escape or cut out some pieces with tiny pie cutters, pictured above. Bake at 400F for 50 minutes.
