I received this recipe from my mother’s aunt Lucille when I was about 13 years old. I’ve had it ever since and make apple pies at least once a month. It never lasts long and when I serve it to friends, they usually tell me it’s the best apple pie they have ever had. Try it for yourself and let me know….
APPLE PIE
- 5 to 6 cups of apples, peeled cored and cut into chunks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Prepare pie crust as desired
Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl; add water gradually until a rich paste is formed. Add apples to mixture, mixing to make sure the apples are well coated.
Put mixture in pie crust and add butter to apples. Add top to pie crust and leave a few steam slits. Press hard on edges to make sure it’s sealed. Brush with milk and sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon.
Bake in oven at 350F for 45 to 60 minutes. Cool one hour before serving.
