Apple Pie

  

Aunt Faith’s Apple Pie

Mix together in a saucepan or microwave safe glass dish:

6    cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced

1    cup sugar

½   tsp. salt

½   tsp. cinnamon

½   lemon rind

1    Tbsp. lemon juice

2    Tbsp. flour

2-3  pats of butter

Cook down in large saucepan or microwave stirring often until apples are on the soft side and the fluid is like runny gravy. Pour into unbaked pie crust and top with another. Poke holes or add cut out designs of your choice. 

Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees a bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. 

Auntie Faith always made this apple pie for Thanksgiving and even though there was about 10-15 other desserts for our huge family Thanksgiving dinners I always went straight to Auntie's apple pie. She shared this recipe with me and even spent an afternoon showing me how to make it.  She was an amazing cook!
