Ingredients

  • 2 unbaked pie crusts for deep dish pie pan
  • 10-12 apples ( mix sweet with sour, Macintosh are the best)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 heaping tablespoons corn starch
  • 1/2 juice of lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Put unbaked pie shell into the bottom of a deep dish pie plate. Mix the brown sugar, spices, and cornstarch together.

Step 2

Peel the apples and slice them up. Alternate layers of apples with the brown sugar mixture. Pour the lemon juice over top. Stack the apples up high so that it is domed.

Step 3

Put unbaked pie crust over top. Pinch down the edges so they are secure. For a fluted edge, spread your fingers on the edge of the crust and pull the dough up between your fingers. Cut a vent hole at the top by making a star. Cut 1 inch straight down, move a half inch and cut another 1 inch slash. Now do a smaller slash horizontal (1/2 inch). Finish by putting 1/4 of an inch in the corners.

Step 4

Bake at 350 F for 1 hour. Before taking it out of the oven brush the crust with milk and sprinkle it with sugar. It gives it a nice sparkling crust.
