Anita's Award Winning Apple Pie

(Yes, it really has won awards, honest!)

Crust Ingredients:

2 1/2 C white flour
6 T. cornstarch
1/2 C sugar
1 C firm butter, cut into pieces

Directions: Stir together flour, cornstarch, and the sugar. Rub in butter with your fingers until dough is crumbly and has no large particles. Dived dough in half. Press half into an 8" or 9" round pie pan, shaping it to fill the sides and bottom of pan.

Filling Ingredients:

2 to 3 large apples
1/2 C white sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 t. nutmeg
3 T cinnamon

Core, peel, and thinly slice apples. In a bowl, mix together apple slices, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let sit for about 10 minutes, to allow juices to settle. Pour into prepared pie crust.

Once you have the filling in the crust, crumble the other half of the dough on top of the apples, completely covering the dish. Pack down slightly. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350* until the top is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool. Enjoy!
