Grandma K's Apple Pie

After we went apple picking, and after Rick and I made Pumpkin Bread, we made an apple pie. I used Grandma K's recipe...and I did it from memory. Which would have been just fine, but I forgot to add a little flour to the apple mix, so the liquid inside the pie was a little runny. Rick and Curt said it tasted wonderful, and I managed to eat my piece fairly quickly as well. The cinnamon ice cream Curt brought over was a perfect addition.


Grandma K's Apple Pie
2 9-inch pie crusts (we used Pillsbury refrigerated...grandma K always made them from scratch)
8-9 tart apples (we used 6 McIntosh and 3 Red Barrons)
2/3 cup sugar
1 TB flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
(we used Apple Pie spice instead of the individual spices...about 2 tsps)
1 Tb butter

Preheat the oven to 350. Place one of the pie crusts in the bottom of the pie tin. Push it down so that it conforms to the pan's shape.
Peel, core and slice (1/8 of an inch thick) the apples. Mix the apples with the sugar, flour, and spices. Pour into the pie crust. Dot the top with bits of the butter.
Put the top crust on. Fold the edges of the crust where they meet.
Cut 4 small slits in the top of the pie.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the apples are cooked through.
