Ingredients

• 6 cups cored, peeled sliced apples
• 1/2 to 2/3 Cup sugar (24 packets of equal for sugar free)
• 1/8 t salt
• 1 to 1 1/2 T cornstarch
• 1/4 t cinnamon
• 1/8 t nutmeg
• 1 1/2 T butter
• 1 T lemon juice
• 1/2 t grated lemon rind
• 1 t vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450

Only very tart apples require the larger amount of sugar. Only very juicy apples require the larger amount of cornstarch. Stir the apples gently until they are well coated. Place them in layers in the pie shell and dot with butter.

The vanilla is only used if the apples do not have much flavor.

Cover pie with a pricked pie crust and bake for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350 and bake until done 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
