Apple Pie...




5 C. Apples (uniformly sliced;peeled or not)
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
3 Tbsp. Melted Butter
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/3 C. Packed Brown Sugar
1/3 C. Granulated Sugar
1/3 C. Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ginger
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

Put apples in large mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, toss to coat. Add vanilla to melted butter and pour over apple mixture. Stir to coat evenly. In another bowl, stir sugars, flour, salt and spices together. Add to apples and mix well. Pour in unbaked pie crust and top with a top crust. Flute edges together. Slice "ventilation slits" in top crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar. Bake on a cookie sheet at 375* for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350* and bake an additional 55-60 minutes.
(James loves apple pie. I love apple pie. I think we are both agreed that Norma makes the best apple pie in the world...but my pie yesterday, using our very own apples, and my own combination of spices, weren't too bad! :) Use Norma or Sylvia's pie crust recipes and either way you can't go wrong.)
