"The secret to this pie is the way you cut the apples. With smaller pieces that flavors mix better."
3-5 {enough to fill crust} medium sized firm baking apples, i.e. Granny Smith
2/3-1 c. sugar
¼ t. salt
2 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1-1 ½ T. butter
Your favorite 2-crust pie dough
Dice apples fairly small. Mix all dry ingredients. Mix with apples. Put in crust. Dot top with thin slices of butter. Make lattice top crust. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for additional 35-45 minutes or until crust is browned. After pie is taken form the oven, sprinkle top with a little sugar.
