Yummiest, Most Simple Apple Pie

This recipe turns out EVERY SINGLE TIME!  I love it!  I use my nice knives my SIL bought for me us for Christmas last year and I can get my apples nice and thin.  Plus I slice my slices in half so they fill the pie plate better.  You're gonna love it!

Preheat: 375*
Category: Pie, apples, dessert, PICURES

1 recipe for Double Pie Crust
6 c. Apples, thinly sliced
3/4 c. Sugar
2 T. Flour
1/2 t. Cinnamon
1/8 t. Nutmeg

1.  Line the bottom of a greased pie plate with rolled-out pastry. 

2.  Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.  Add the apples and toss until they're coated.

3.  Dump the apples into the pastry-lined pie plate and pack them in.

4.  Cover the pie with the 2nd pie crust.  Roll the crust up and in, and crimp.  Cut slits on the top of the pie. Or like I do, gently use a fork to make the letter A to show what kind of pie it is!

5.  Bake with edge of pie crust covered with foil and bake at 375* for 25 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.  Let pie sit for about five minutes before slicing in!  I like my new Pampered Chef pie crust shield--I hated the foil!  What a waste and what a hassle!

Optional: Serve pie with a slice of cheddar cheese on top!  Mmmmm.

Cake:
1/2 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 Cups Light brown sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Sour cream

1/2 Cup Light brown sugar

2. Cream together (1 c.) butter and sugar until fluffy and light.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each one.

4. Add the dry ingredients. Emeril says sift them, but since I don't own a sifter... :D

5. Now add the rest of the wet ingredients, the sour cream and vanilla.

6. Fold in apples.

7. Pour and spread out the batter to the edges of your baking pan. Set aside.

8. (Topping) Combine brown sugar, flour cinnamon and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake evenly.

9. Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for at least 10 minutes.

10. (Glaze) Combine glaze ingredients and mix until smooth. Drizzle the cake and allow the glaze to slightly harden. Susan and her friend have never made the glaze, just so you know. :)

11. Serve warm. And maybe with ice cream. :D
