Ingredients

  • tablespoons butter cut in small bits
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose sifted
  • 10 servings granulated sugar (see Note)
  • 10 servings ground cinnamon 
  •  baking apples are apples that have a sweet-tart balance and hold their shape when such as rhode island greenings, gravensteins or granny smiths ( 3 pounds) firm

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven
  • knife
  • pie form

Directions

  1. Prepare the pie dough, divide half and roll out each half no more than 1/4 inch thick. Line a 9-inch pie pan with one. Keep lined pan and top crust chilled.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel and core the apples and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with sugar and cinnamon to taste and with the flour. Fill the pie with the apple slices, mounding them somewhat in the center. Dot with butter. Cover loosely with the top crust, using a little water to seal the crusts together. Crimp the edges. Using a fork or the tip of a knife, make several vents in the top crust.
  3. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown. The smell will tell you when it is ready.
  4. Serve while still warm.
  5. The amount of sugar is determined by how sweet the apples are. It would be a mistake to oversweeten or overseason them.
