1/2 cup of white sugar

3 tablespoons of flour
4 or 5 pats of butter
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 cup of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons of nutmeg
Lemon juice

2. Peel, core, then cut apples into thin slices.

3. Mix in cinnamon until apples are thoroughly coated.

4. Add brown sugar, flour, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice and mix with hands until well distributed.

5. Remove package from pie crusts and place apple filling into one crust. Add pats of butter on top of pie filling.

6. Remove crust from second tin pan and place it carefully on top of pie filling. You might also want to roll the crust out on floured board so it will fit on top of filling.

7. Use fork to create wedges on trim of crust. Make slits on top of crust.

8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until crust turns brown and apple filling bubbles.
