3/4 to 1 c sugar
2 TB flour
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
Dash of salt
2 TB butter

Makes 2 pies.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Peel apples and slice thinly. Combine sugar, flour, spices, and salt. Mix with apples. Line a 9" pie plate with pastry, fill with apple mixture. Dot with butter. Adjust top crust making sure to cut air holes into the crust for steam to escape. Brush crust with milk or egg yolk or egg white, then sprinkle sugar on top for sparkle.
