My grandmother's recipe. Pie crust has an undeserved reputation as being difficult to make. It isn’t. But there are important points that aren’t usually included in recipes, so I’ll include them below. You may use a vegetable shortening, or ... More

Ingredients
  • 1 recipe pie crust
  • 5-6 tart apples (Granny Smith preferred)
  • 1/2 c. each: dark brown and white sugar
  • 1 1/2 t. cinnamon
  • 4 T. butter

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Make the filling first. Peel, core, and slice the apples (no thicker than a half-inch). Add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Make the crust. When you have the bottom crust in the pan, add the filling. Be careful not to get filling on the edges of the pan — and yes, it looks like way too much (the apples will cook down). Cube the butter and tuck into filling. Cover with the top crust, seal, and place on a baking sheet (assume it will overflow). Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, until the crust is golden brown.
  4. The ideal accompaniment is cinnamon ice cream (add lots of cinnamon to your favorite vanilla ice cream recipe), but a good vanilla is great too.
