Preparation

Step 1

Place apples in a 2 qt square baking dish.

In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 tsp of the mixture. Stir cornstarch and salt into remaining sugar mixture and mix well. Sprinkle evenly over apples in dish.

In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 1 TB of the water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push to side of bowl. Repeat, using 1 TB water at a time until all of the dough is moistened. Form into a ball.

On a floured surface, roll dough into a 10 inch square. Cut decorate vents in pastry. Carefully place pastry over apples. Using the tines of a fork, press edges to sides of dish. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with the reserved sugar mixture.

Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is gold brown. Serve warm.
