Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

Your own crust in a deep-dish pan. I use frozen crust, thawed
About 2 1/2 lb. apples--see intro
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice (or the same amount of combination nutmeg & cloves)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Peel & core the apples & cut in half. Arrange most of them around the sides of the crust and in the middle--you'll have at least one left. They can stick up beyond the crust a little (they'll cook down), but not much. You might have to slice off the bottoms and use them to fill in. Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Combime all dry ingredients and pour about 1/3 of them over & around the apples. Cut the remaining apple into slices and fit the slices in between the halves so that you completely cover the crust and the pie is full of apples. I make some little pieces & stick them under the halves, in the core space. Pour the rest of the dry ingredients over & around the apples. Dot all apples with butter or margarine. Put on cookie sheet and bake in pre-heated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. Turn oven down to 375 degrees, and baste the tops of the apples with the liquid in between them. Bake 20 more minutes at 375, baste again, and bake 20 more minutes. Check that apples are done (soft, not crunchy). Total baking time is an hour or a little more. When apples are done, take the pie out and immediately baste again. Top should look shiny. Cool.
