My First Apple Pie
Ingredients:
1 unbaked double pie crust
5 cups apple slices, peeled
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line an 8-inch pie plate with pie dough and trim the edges. Place the apple slices in a large bowl. Add the sugar, flour, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and lemon juice, and stir until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into the unbaked piecrust and dot with butter. Fold the top crust in half, set it over the fruit, and unfold. Crimp the edges or press the tines of a fork around the edges to seal. Cut slits in the crust in a decorative pattern.
Bake the pie for 40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
