Ingedients
5 Tablespoons butter
2 pounds Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 pounds Fuji Apples, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 lemon, juiced
4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon spice blend (You can buy a blend, or use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice)
1 packaged pie crust
Directions
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in large saute pan.
Add apples and saute for 2 minutes.
Add both sugars, lemon juice, and flour, and saute for 2 more minutes.
Add salt and Cinnamon blend.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare crust in pie plate.
Spoon apples onto pie crust, topping with other crust.
Using a sharp knife, cut away the excess crust. Do not throw away!
With a sharp knife, make four thin slits towards the center but not meeting, about 1 1/2 inches long on each quarter of the pie.
Take that extra pie crust dough and roll it into a ball. Roll it out with your rolling pin until it’s about as thick as the crust. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out 4 shapes. For my pie, I have leaf cookie cutters that are perfect for fall. Place the dough shapes just above the slit you made in the crust.
Bake pie for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If it starts to brown too much, tent with foil. Let cool for 1 hour before
