To go along with that wonderful pie crust recipe that I posted earlier, I thought I would include an easy and delicious recipe for quick, fresh, and delicious apple pie filling. This is a great recipe to use when you have fresh apples from a tree, but apples from the store will do as well.

Recipe:

• 6 cups apples sliced (peel if you desire)
• 3/4 Cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 Tablespoon butter (for top of pie)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (for top of pie)
• Pie crust

1. Combine apples, sugar, flour, spices and salt. Toss until well mixed.
2. Put filling in pie crust, sprinkle with lemon juice.
3. Dot top of filling with 2 Tablespoons of butter
4. Cover with top crust, press edges together.
5. Cut slits in top crust to allow pie to steam.
6. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Turn oven to 350 and bake for another 25 minutes or until nicely browned and apples cooked.
8. Cool. Eat and Enjoy!
