As many of you know Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that observes the landing of Christopher Columbus in America. However, when I was growing up...its was Apple Pie Day. As long as I can remember my dad had the day off from work and would make his delicious apple pie. So in keeping with tradition, I'm baking today! I hope Coplan will enjoy this as much as I did!
** I usually add more brown sugar and less white sugar. I also use the refrigerated pie dough that you can buy at the grocery store. Love, Dad **
6 cups Granny Smith apple slices peeled and cored
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
2 Tablespoons cold butter (cut in small pieces)
1 Tablespoon milk for brushing the top crust
1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for dusting crust
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees
Prepare pie dough accordingly, place bottom crust in 9-inch pie pan (make sure to leave enough overhang to fold the edges). In large bowl toss apple slices with lemon juice. Add sugars, flour, spices mix gently. Place mixture in pie pan. Top with crust, dot with butter, sprinkle with sugar mixture, and fold edges under pressing as you go. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
