I made it back to the east coast 2 weeks ago, including to NH, where my father and I followed the directions in a pie dish to make an apple pie that went most delightfully with some vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I used more cinnamon, as I hate nutmeg)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pounds apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 box prepared pie crusts, or your favorite 2-crust recipe
- ice cream and/or whipped cream for serving, as desired
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place one of the pie crusts into the pie plate and prick all over with a fork. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring together. Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender, forks, or your fingers, until only small pieces remain.
Pour the sugar mixture over the apples and stir to combine.
Transfer the apple mixture into the bottom crust.
Top with the other crust, pinching together the edges all the way around, to seal, and cutting several slits in the top.
Bake 45-50 minutes, then serve with ice cream!
