| Filling Ingredients |
|
| 1/3 - ½ cup (75 -125 mL) |
brown or granulated sugar |
| 1 tbsp (15 mL) |
all-purpose flour |
| ½ tsp (2 mL) |
cinnamon |

Fit pastry into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Trim edge, leaving
a 1/2-inch (1 cm) overhang. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon
and nutmeg and toss with apple slices. Place filling in pie
shell and dot with butter or margarine. Roll out another portion
of pastry and place over filling. Trim top edge of crust,
leaving a 1/2-inch (1 cm) overhang. Tuck overhang under bottom
edge of the crust. Press together and flute edge. Cut several
slashes as steam vents in top crust. Bake in preheated 425F
(220C) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F (180C) and
continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes or until fruit is tender
and pastry is golden brown.
Ontario apple variety tip: A number of apples will
work with this pie. Northern Spy, Spartan, Idared, Cortland,
Crispin (Mutsu), Golden Delicious and Empire Apples hold their
shape when baked. Apples vary in sweetness, so adjust amount
of sugar accordingly.
