Ingredients

2 sheets refrigerated pie crust

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

7 medium Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced and peeled

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place one pie crust in an ungreased pie plate.

Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.

Stir in the sliced apples.

Stir in lemon juice.

Pour filling mixture into the pie crust.

Drizzle melted butter over the filling.

Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.

Place second pie crust over the filling.

Cut four slits to allow steam to escape and trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate.

Tuck the edge of the top crust between the bottom crust and pie plate. Press the edges firmly against the rim to seal it closed.

Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Serve warm if desired.
