Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat oven to 425°F. Fit 1 pie crust into a 9 inch pie dish.

2) Mix apples, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, apple-pie spice and salt in large mixing bowl until apples
are coated.

3) Turn apple mixture into pastry-lined pie dish; spread evenly. Scatter butter pieces over top of mixture.

4) Fit top crust over apple mixture. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust around edges. Press edges together to seal; flute.

5) Brush top crust with milk. Make slits in top crust with knife to create steam vents. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake pie until golden, 40-45 minutes.

If apple-pie spice is not available, you can use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
