Apple Pie

 

 

Ingredients

• 2 deep dish pie crusts
• 3/4 - 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 6-7 cups sliced Granny Smith apples
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
• Milk as needed

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425degrees.

2. Mix sugar, vanilla, and spices together. Then mix lightly through the sliced apples. Heap up into one of the pie crusts in pan.

3. Dot the apples with butter.

4. Roll out second crust for cover and place on top of apples. Seal edges with a fork, use a knife to cut excess using pie pan as a guide.

5. Cut slits in top crust for ventilation, you could make them decorative if you wish. Add any decorative crust designs you want by scoring the bottom of the decoration with a fork and doing the same to the place you wish to add it to on the crust.

6. Wet finger with milk or water before placing then gently press on cutout, you may need to spread the edges to keep secure. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.

7. Bake for 50-60mins until crust is nicely browned and apples are cooked through (test with a fork). You may need to cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent burning.
