Apple Pie

by Grandma Mallory

15 Granny Smith Apples; peeled and thinly sliced
2 Prepared Pie Crusts
¼ cup All Purpose Flour
1 cup Granulated Sugar
¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
Juice from 1 fresh Lemon
½ cube Butter; softened

In large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Pour apples into pie crusts and squeeze lemon juice over the top, then dot top of apples with small pats of butter. Put top crust over apples and rub entire top gently with fingers moistened with Half and Half, or Cream…making sure to seal edges tightly. Sprinkle top with sugar and cinnamon, and cut 3 small slits in the center of each crust with a sharp knife. Bake pies in a 415° oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce temperature to 350°, and bake an additional 1 hour, or until golden brown and apples are done. Test with a sharp knife. Serve warm or cold.
