Basic pastry dough for 2 crust pie
3/4 to 1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
6 lg. firm tart apples
2 tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 9 inch pie pan with half pastry dough. Mix the sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour in large bowl. Peel and slice apples and toss them in sugar mixture, coating them well. Pile into pie pan and dot with the butter. Roll out top crust, crimp edges and cut vents in top. Bake 10 minutes then lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 30 to 40 minutes more or until apples are tender when pierced and crust is browned. (May add raisins if desired.) Enjoy!
