Apple Pie (2 crust)


6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2 pie crusts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle sliced apples with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and toss together.

Place the bottom crust in a pie pan. Pour in apple slices. Cut up the butter and dot it on top of the apples. Cover with top crust and seal the edges together. Cut slices in the top crust to let out steam. Sprinkle the top with sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. You may need to cover the edges of the pie with foil to keep it from browning too much.
