Plain Good and Simple Apple Pie image

This pie is so good. I have been making this recipe for 23 years. When my boys were small we always went to the apple orchard and picked our own apples for this pie, and then made a bunch and gave to nieghbors and friends. They always looked forward to fall and this pie. Nothing fancy, just a good old fashioned apple pie.
