Grandma's Apple Pie

This recipe is a sure fire hit with friends and family alike! It is so moist and delicious! Give it a try!
This recipe is from Great American Home Baking


What I used:

The recipe called for 1 pkg. refrigerated pie crusts, I made my own but you can do whatever
2 1/2 lbs. Granny Smith Apples
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
2 tsp. lemon juice (I actually didn't have any lemon peel so I just added a little extra lemon juice)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter

1. Preheat the oven to 400 and get your crust ready, whatever kind you are using. Place in a 9" pie plate, allowing excess to hang over the edge.
2. Peel and core the apples, then cut into 1/4" slices. In a large bowl toss the apples in the lemon juice. In a small bowl combine the next 4 ingredients. Add to the apple mixture and toss to coat.
3. Spoon the Apple mixture and any juices into the pie crust. Cut the butter into pieces; dot over the filling.
4. Roll out your remaining pie crust and place over top of the pie and put several slices in the top. Trim the pie crust around the edges leaving just enough to pinch together and seal the crust closed. You can do decorative edges if you wish. Place aluminum foil around the crust and bake for 30 min. Remove the foil and bake another 15-20 min. until the crust is slightly browned and the juices begin to bubble.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
