My grandmother used to make this pie when we had Christmas at her house. She used a paper bag to cover the pie, but in the updated version we use parchment paper. It is a very old recipe. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell |
4 large apples - peeled, cored and chopped |
1/2 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F(220 degrees C).
2. Place apple chunks in a large bowl. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat well. Spoon into pastry shell. Drizzle with lemon juice.
3. For the topping: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup flour. Cut in butter. Sprinkle over apples to cover top. Take two 15 inch pieces of parchment paper and enclose pie; fold edges up 3 times. Place on a baking sheet.
4. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven, split parchment open and cool pie on wire rack. DO NOT open parchment covering while baking! Cool for 10 minutes before serving hot.
