Betty Crocker's Apple pie recipe as modified by Mom

Betty Crocker's Apple pie recipe as modified by Mom

9 inch pie two crust pie pastry

Mix together:
3/4 cup sugar (if apples are really sweet, cut back to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup all purpose flour (NOT self rising)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
I add: 1/8 ground clove, ground allspice, ground cardamon
dash salt

Add above mixture to 6 cups sliced pared apples (I use a mix of apple types as I think it makes a better pie: Galas,Golden Delicious, Pippin or Granny Smith, MacIntosh; you want a mixture of firm apples, sweet apples, apples that soften and make good sauce)

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place apple and spice mixture in pie pan. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust that has three to fivesteam holes/slits in it. Seal and flute the edge. You can cover edge with 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foillast fifteen minutes of baking.
Bake 40 -50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble up through the slits in the crust.

ENJOY!

Love you,
Mom
