directions

  • Combine apples, brown sugar, water and lemon juice in a pot.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat about five minutes or until the apples are just tender.
  • Mix flour, granulated sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt and stir into apple mixture.
  • Cook, stirring constantly until the syrup thickens- about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Prepare pastry.
  • Turn the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie pan.
  • Cover with top crust with slits in it; seal and flute.
  • Cover the top of the pie with a 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

  1. I definitely give this recipe five stars. It turned out delicious. I added a splash of orange juice to the mix. It turned out wonderfully. The only thing I might change would be to peel the apples first. It simply never occurred to me. We just got a little more fiber with our pie, I guess.
     
  2. My 6 year old DD just made this "almost" all by herself. It is really wonderful...made exactly as directed, used fresh gala apples. They were small apples so I used 7 and probably could have added two more. Thanks!!
     
  3. I made the pie as directed with the exception of cutting the nutmeg in half, adding an extra 1/4 t of cinnamon and 1/4 t cloves-just personal preference. The filling was perfect- not at all runny. I let it get really thick before taking off the stove. Easy recipe-toughest part is actually getting the filling in the pie-really tempting to just get out the ice cream!
     
  4. Super yummy apple pie!!!! made it just how you said and it was perfect. thank you :-)
     
  5. My Fiancee made this pie and it came out great. The only thing that I would do differently is add a bit more sugar because it was a little tart for me, but besides that it was a great recipe!!
