Ingredients
-
4 cups sliced peeled apples (sweet varieties are best)
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, undiluted
1 1/2 - 2 1 1/2-2 teaspoons cornstarch or 1 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
1/2 - 1 1/2-1 teaspoon nutmeg or 1/2-1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 pastry for double-crust pie
Preparation
-
Divide pastry into 2 parts and roll to fit an 8 0r 9 inch plate. Set aside.
Mix apples, apple juice concentrate, thickener and spice and stir until apples are well-coated. Add lemon juice, if desired. Taste 1 piece of apple to check the spice. Pour into the pastry-lined pie pan and top with second crust or pastry strips.
Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake at 425\u00b0 for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve warm or cold.
