crazychicknlady6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples - fuji (or some other decently tasting apple, NOT Granny Smith).
1/2 cup sugar.
1/4 cup flour for thickening.
Dash salt.
1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Mix above ingredients together in big bowl, transfer to sauce pan, heat approx 20 mins on stove at medium low (4 on my stove).
Take off heat, mix in 1 TBSP lemon juice.
Put into uncooked pie crust, dot with butter (2 or 3 TBSP).
Lattice top crust*.
Preheat oven to 450.
Cook at 450 for 10 mins.
Reduce heat to 350, cook for additional 45 mins (approximately, judge by how the crust looks). Sprinkle granulated sugar on crust and bake an extra 5 mins.
*If desired, foil edges of crust, remove foil for last 25 mins.
ETA: This year (2021), I used the 10in pie pan. I left off the aluminum foil. I used 5ish cups of apples, mixing in a couple gala with the fuji. I forgot the butter till the pie had already baked 45 mins at 350, so I put butter in all the lattice holes, added sugar in the top crust, and baked it for an extra 10 mins. Best pie to date.
