Apple Pie from Grandma's Kitchen image

There's nothing that says "home" quite like a nice, home-baked apple pie. This recipe was adapted from the 1941 New American Cookbook that my mother and grandmother used. This wonderful pie is the perfect ending to a great meal for company or for a special treat for your family. It smells heavenly while it's baking and turns...

Categories     Pies

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 to 8 medium pared and cored apples. sliced about 1/4" thick
1/2 to 2/3 c sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more, if you like)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp butter
1 pie crust for double crust pie (i use my fool-proof pie crust recipe)
milk
raw sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2. Lightly roll out 1/2 pie crust to 1/8" thickness, about 2 1/2 inches larger than pie plate. Fold in half and fit into pie plate. Trim the edges to fit the pie plate. Place crust in oven for about 5 minutes, remove from oven and set aside. This step will prevent your bottom crust from becoming soggy.
  • 3. In large bowl, mix apples, sugar, spices, lemon juice and flour. Pour into bottom crust and dot with butter. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water.
  • 4. Roll out the remaining pie crust to about 1/8" thick and about 1" larger than the diameter of the plate. Fold in half and place over the apples with the folded half in the center. Carefully unfold and adjust over the apples. Gently press edges together and trim to fit the pie plate. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges together or crimp edges with fingers. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the crust, about 1/2" in length.
  • 5. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar. Place aluminum foil strips around the edge of the crust.
  • 6. Line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with aluminum foil and place on the bottom rack in the oven. Place pie on the top rack and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove pie from oven and remove foil. Return to oven and bake for about another 10 minutes or until crust is evenly golden.
