  • Rinse the apples under some cold water and drain them well.
  • Add in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour. Mix well.

  • Fill the pie plate with the apple mixture and place three pats of butter over the apples.
  • For a 2 crusts pie, roll out other dough ball to add on top of the filling in the pie. Trim excess dough with kitchen scissor 1/2 inch below the edge.
  • Cover with a top layer of pie crust, overlapping the bottom layer. Join the two crust together with your fingers and fold the edges underneath, so to match the exact pie rim.
  • Using fingers, go around the pie plate and make indentations or use a fork instead. with a pairing knife, score the top of the pie with four 2 inch long slits in the middle of the pie to let the steam from the cooking escape.
  • Optional: Brush some melted butter on top of the pie crust and sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar.

COOKING TIME FOR APPLE PIE

  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for one hour or until the top crust is lightly browned.
