Mama’s Apple pie

Ingredients  

Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

Filling:

  • 3 cups green apples, peeled and sliced (5 small apples or 4 large apples)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl mix together the crust ingredients, until a crumbly texture is achieved. You can use a pastry blender or two butter knives to achieve this. Take 3/4 cup of the crust mixture out and set to the side, then press the rest into a deep dish pie plate
  • In a large bowl mix all the filling ingredients together really well. Then lift the apples out, make sure to wash your hands, and put them evenly in the crust. Pour the juice evenly over the top of the apples, making sure to get all the sugar out of the bowl. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of crumbs over the top and bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then turn down the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and serve with ice cream
