Ingredients
Refrigerated pie crust for one (9-inch) double crust pie
1 1/2 cups plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 to 5 cups tart apples, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon milk
Preparation
Preheat over to 350°F.
Prepare pastry; roll out half and line a 9-inch deep dish pie pan.
Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, flour, and cinnamon in medium-size bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup water (optional). Add apples and mix to coat thoroughly. Pour into pastry-lined pan and dot with butter. Roll out second half of pastry for top crust; cut design in center to allow steam to escape. Place on pie, pressing around edge to seal. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bake until crust is browned, 45 to 60 minutes.
