Fall Classic Apple Pie!
By Renee Grosz
Ingredients: One 9 inch Double Crust (unbaked)
6-8 Apples ( mixed are better tart and firm sweet)
3/4- 1 cup of sugar
3-heaping table spoons of flour
1/4- teaspoon of vanilla
2-teaspoons cinnamon
1/4-teaspoon nutmeg
dash of salt
2-4 tablespoons of butter
(4- cups boiling water and 4 -Lipton tea bags)
Instructions: preheat oven 425 degrees. (Boil water and insert tea bags, soak the peeled and sliced apple in the tea 2-5 minutes)! Drain apples well. Press one of the 9 inch pie crust in the pie plate. Place well drained apples in a large bowl, Add sugar, vanilla,cinnamon,nutmeg, flour and the dash of salt. Toss gently until apples are well coated. Place well coated apples into the pie plate and dot with butter. Cover pie with top crust, cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 10 – 15 minutes (I put aluminum foil around the edge to prevent over cooking) or until pie begins to brown. Reduce heat to 400 degrees, remove foil and continue baking approximately 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and the crust is golden! Once done allow pie to cool! Enjoy!
