Good Old-Fashioned Apple Pie

Ingredients

1 box(es) (15 oz) refrigerated ready-to-bake pie crusts
3/4 cup(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
2 1/2 pound(s) (7 medium) Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, quartered, cored and cut in 1⁄2-in.-thick wedges
2 tablespoon(s) stick butter, cut in small pieces
1 teaspoon(s) milk
1 tablespoon(s) sugar





Directions

• Place oven rack in lowest position. Heat to 375°F. Have ready a 9-in. pie pan or plate and a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips).
• Line pie pan with 1 crust as box directs. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add apples; toss gently to mix and coat. Spread in pie pan, tucking them to fit. Scrape any juices in bowl over apples; dot with butter.
• Top with remaining crust. Gently press edges together, turn under and flute or crimp if desired. Brush crust with milk; sprinkle with sugar. Cut 4 slits on top of pie to vent.
• Place on lined sheet; bake on low oven rack 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F and bake 50 to 60 minutes longer, until crust is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced through a slit. (If top browns too quickly, drape loosely with foil.) Remove to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sublime dessert.
