Apple Season!

I've been very busy crocheting little kitty blankets that will be donated to various places. One being Timmy's vet who took such very good care of him while he was healing from his surgery back in 2004. But I finally found enough time to put down my crochet hook and go online to blog :) It's apple picking season here in the Northeast and when I think of apples, I think of some great recipes! Of course, how could you blog about apples without sharing an apple pie recipe!!

BEST EVER APPLE PIE

2 1/2 lbs. Apples (Granny Smith, McKeons, McIntosh, etc) peeled and cored, sliced into thin pieces
1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup White Sugar
1 Tbs. Flour
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
Dash of Cloves
1/4 Tsp. Salt
2 Tbs. Butter
Pre-made Pie Shell

Prepare Apples
Mix with dry ingredients
Place in pie shell
Dot with the butter
Cover with top shell
Pinch crusts together and flute edges
Sprinkle with Sugar
Cut openings in top with fork
Bake 40 Minutes at 425 degrees.
Cool on rack before cutting

*To enjoy it like my daugher does, place a think slice of cheese (American or Cheddar) on top of serving!
