Nana’s Easy Apple Pie

Yield: One 12-inch pie

Ingredients

Crust

• 2 boxes of Jiffy Pie crust mix
• 4 tbsp cold water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• The Farmer’s Cow Milk to brush top
• 1 tbsp sugar

Filling

• 5-6 baking apples (i.e., Cortland, Macoun, Breaburn)
• 1-2 eating apples (i.e., Macintosh, Gala, Golden Delicious)
• 1-1/4 cups sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg
• Dash of allspice
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp butter cut into 3-4 pieces

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Peel apples
• Mix each prepackaged crust individually replacing one tablespoon of water specified in the directions with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Roll out 2 crusts.
• Line a 12-inch pie plate with bottom crust dough, and dust the bottom with 1 tablespoon of flour
• Cut up the apples directly into the pie plate. Do not make even slices. Large pieces give texture and smaller bits make the sauce!
• Sprinkle the 1-1/4 cups of sugar evenly over the apples.
• Mix spices and flour, and sprinkle evenly over the sugar.
• Put pieces of butter spaced out on the apples and spices.
• Top with the upper crust and crimp the edge (hint: wet the edge of the lower piece of crust with water first)
• Brush the top with a bit of The Farmer’s Cow milk. While still wet, sprinkle 1 tbsp. sugar over the top.
• Cut a few vent holes in the crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 400, reduce temperature to 350, and bake for 1 hour or until apples are soft.
• Served topped with a scoop of The Farmer’s Cow Hay! Hay! Hay! Vanilla ice cream!
