Fall + fresh apples = homemade apple pie! YUMMM!
This is my mother's apple pie recipe updated to make it easier on my blood sugar.
2 pie crusts
6 - 8 cups sliced & peeled apples
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tbs stone ground whole wheat flour
1 tbs unbleached white flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tbs butter, optional
Mix together brown sugar, flours, cinnamon & nutmeg. Mix through apples. Place apple mixture in crust lined pie pan. Dot with butter, if desired. Put top crust over apples, flute edges & poke vents in crust.
Bake at 425, 50 - 60 minutes. Pie is done when apples are tender when you stick a knife through them.
