Mimi'S Maine Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 - 1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 cups sliced peeled apples
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Peel and slice the apples.
Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Mix lightly through the apples.
Heap into a pastry-lined 9\" pie plate.
Dot with butter.
Adjust top crust and flute the edges; cut vents.
Bake in a 425 degree oven 50-60 minutes or till crust is browned and apples are done.
NOTE: I put thin strips of aluminum foil around the edges of the pie before I bake it so that the edges don't burn; I take them off the last 10 minutes or so, just to make sure they are browned up.
