Ingredients

• 6-8 apples (granny smith or other hard, tart apples)

• 1⁄2 cup sugar

• 2 tbsp flour

• 1⁄2 or 1 tsp ground cinnamon, depending on taste

• 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C).

2. Core, peel, and chop apples and place into a large bowl. Mix with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, until evenly distributed.

3. Line a pie dish with an unbaked crust, then poke the sides and bottom to ensure no bubbling.

4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.

5. Cut butter into 6 to 8 small pieces and distribute over the top of the apples.

6. Sprinkle lemon juice over the tops of the apples.

7. Cover with a top crust, then seal the edges of the bottom and the top crust together. Cut ventilation holes in the top of the crust.

8. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

9. Bake for 30 minutes at 425° F (220° C), then drop the temperature to 350° F (175° C) and bake for another 15 minutes.
