In baking you need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Apple Pie

This recipe for Apple Pie will be the highlight of the meal no matter what you make. Pie Crusts Recipe

6½-7 cups sliced apples
(½ granny smith & ½ Jonathan or McIntosh)
1 tbls lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
¼ cup flour
1 tbls butter
Double crust pastry*

Preheat oven to 375 and put a layer of foil on the lower oven rack to catch spills. Peel and slice apples into a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Add the sugar mix to the apples and mix well to coat the apple slices.

Gently pour the apple slices in the shell and top with cut up butter. Cut slits in the top crust and place this on top of the filling. Seal the top crust to the bottom and flute the edges by pressing the dough with your thumb between your 1st and 2nd fingers. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar if you like.

Bake for about 45 - 50 minutes. Cool the pie on a wire rack so air circulates under the pie, preventing it from becoming soggy.

*Note: Can use a single crust with streusel topping instead. Mix ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup sugar, ½ cup flour, 1 tsp cinnamon. Then cut in ¼ cup butter and sprinkle over apple slices. **Substitute pears and spice it with ½ tsp ginger and ½ tsp cinnamon instead.
