Just the way Mom always made it. She passed it on to me, and now I'm passing it on to you. I usually cheat and use ready made crusts, I never use the salt, and I add more pie seasoning and vanilla just as personal preference.
Ingredients:
2 -2 1/2 lbs granny smith apples
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, cut into thin pats
1/4 cup heavy cream or 1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 prepared pie crusts
Directions:
1. Peel, core, and pare apples.
2. Mix all dry ingredients.
3. Spread 1/3 of apples, followed by 1/3 of sugar mixture into the bottom of prepared unbaked 9in pie crust, repeat twice.
4. Top with pats of butter, and cover with top pie crust. Cut star shape (an X) into center of crust, slightly pull back dough.
5. Mix cream with vanilla, pour slowly into opening of crust.
6. Place on cookie sheet, and bake at 400 for 50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling.
