Fresh Apple Pie
Source of Recipe
My version of the recipe in Betty Crocker's Cookbook
Recipe Introduction
I like a gooey, juicy apple pie with soft apple pieces. If you like your apples more substantial, just slice them thicker.
This really is the Betty Crocker recipe with a few additions. It is a classic apple pie.
Make your own pie crust, if you are good at it - I am not.
Make sure to use a variety of apples - the experts say it tastes better that way!
I sometimes add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries.
List of Ingredients

- 3/4 c. sugar

- 6 c. thinly sliced pared tart apples (about 6 medium)
- 1/4 c. lemon juice
- 1/4 c. maple syrup or molassas
- 2 T. butter
- 1 egg, beaten

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss apples well in lemon juice and drain.
- Mix sugar, flour and seasonings. Stir in apples and toss well. Turn into pastry lined pie pans. Drizzle with syrup and dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Cut slits in crust. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
