When you’re planning your Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll probably be looking for some traditional pie recipes.  Along with this classic pie filling, I recommend making the “Pure Butter Pie Crust” to enhance and highlight this warm and spicy sweet filling.

8 cups peeled and sliced granny smith apples (or other tart apples)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Dash of salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a large bowl combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice.

Place mixture into homemade buttery pie crust.   On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining pastry dough and cut into strips.  Place strips on top of apple pie making a crisscross pattern.  Mix the egg yolk and water in a small bowl and lightly brush the top of the pie.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes.
Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
