The best kind of recipes are the ones that are passed down by someone who has been making it for so many years, they simply know it by heart. This is one of those. I have never found a bakery apple pie that could top this simple recipe that I got straight from my mom. My kids and I made two of these last night, which means for us, the holiday season has officially begun. 
Mom’s apple pie recipe:
- 10 apples – macintosh, peeled and cut in about 1 inch chunks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 t cinnamon & a little nutmeg
- 1 t salt
- 3 T cornstarch
- mix it all up
- put in a pie shell (I use frozen)
- scatter chips of butter around the top of the apples*
- put the top crust on
- bake 1 hour @350 degrees
*Do not put the top crust on before the butter, or you will have to make holes in the top crust and try to force the butter through the holes, which is ridiculous. Trust me. I would know. ;)
Enjoy, Happy Thanksgiving!
