Apple Pie



Ingredients:
  • 9 inch pie crust (in the frozen food section) 
  • 6 large or 7 medium apples
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, roughly
  • 1/2 cup sugar 
  • 2 tbsp flour 
  • .5 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg 
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1/2 cup flour 
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 
  • 3 tbsp butter, cold
Preparations:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Peel and slice apples. Chunk a couple of them. Place sliced apples in a large bowl. As chopping the apples, I sprinkle each apple with lemon juice to keep it from browning.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, corn starch, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Sprinkle mixture over apples. Toss until apples are evenly coated. Spoon mixture into pie crust.
  4. To make the crumb top, mix together 1/2 cup flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut butter into small pieces. Cut in butter into flour mixture until it's crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over apple filling. Cover top loosely with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes, until top is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
