OLD FASHIONED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Slice the apples into a large bowl with cold water and a splash of lemon juice. Once all of the apples are sliced, drain all of the water off the apples and toss them with the sugar and apple pie spice.
• Lay one pie crust in the bottom of a 9 or 10 in. pie plate. Spread the apples over crust. Top the apples with thin slices of butter.

• Make slits in the top of the pie crust if you didn't form a lattice design.
• Brush with cream or milk and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
• Cover the edges of the crust with a pie shield or folded tinfoil. Bake at 400° for 55-60 minutes until the apples are tender and the crust is browned.
