Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix 1/2 cup of the sugar with the cinnamon (and nutmeg).
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Arrange the apples in layers in the pie shell, sprinkling with the cinnamon-sugar mixture as you layer. Mound the apples quite high in the pie shell, as they will cook down.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cut in the butter until crumbly. (I use my pastry blender.) Pat this mixture by large spoonsful evenly over the apples, forming a crust. Seal at the edges.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown.
