Dolly's Apple Pie

Dolly's Apple Pie

My mother-in-law makes the BEST apple pie, and now so do I! At least that is what my husband tells me!

You need:

3-6 pared, cored and THINLY sliced apples
1 cup sugar
2 TBL flour
1 TSP ground cinnamon
dash ground nutmeg
2 TBL butter
Pastry for 9" pie crust**See below

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1) Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
2) Toss apples in mixed dry ingredients. Make sure all of the pieces get coated.
3) Place apples in pie crust
4) Add divided butter evenly on top of apples.
5) Place top crust over apple mixture and seal the top crust to the bottom crust.
6) Add a couple of slits in top to vent and sprinkle the top with sugar.

Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

** I buy my crust at the store in the refrigerated section.
 
You can also buy a frozen crust that usually comes 2 in a pack. Just fill one crust and remove the other from the tin and place it on top. If it does not transfer well you can use a rolling pin to re roll out a new crust.
