Nothing speaks more of homemade than apple pie. There is
something about the effervescence of the pungent spicy aroma that lets off
creating whiffs of delight for family members. It has been some time since I
made an apple pie, and I just received a bag of apples from the local food
pantry. We enjoy apples, but have had our fill since fall, so I thought, "Why
not make something that will make everyone smile?" So here it is my Old
Fashioned Apple Pie recipe. I know you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
3 lb. apples
Pastry for two crust pie
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbs. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tab. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tab. butter or margarine
Pare and core apples, slicing each 1/4 inch thick, toss with lemon juice. Line
1/2 of the apple slices in 9" pie pan with crust. Stir sugar, spices, and
cornstarch. Sprinkle with one half of the mixture. Line remaining 1/2 and
sprinkle with remaining mixture. Be sure to heap apples in the center. Dot with
butter or margarine. Place second crust on top of apples and seal with a fork
or fingers. Bake in 425 degrees for 40 minutes. YUM!
