Apple Pie Craving

With the cool weather this week, I was craving a slice of an apple pie. I love making my own apple pie, but I was too exhausted to make it happen after dinner. So... womp, womp... we bought one from the store. It really wasn't good and didn't satisfy the craving like I had expected. I can't wait to make my own soon.

Here's a similar recipe that I use from Taste of Home:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 6 to 7 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 egg white

• Additional sugar

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
2. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry.
3. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over pastry. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.
4. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
