Here is my old family Apple Pie Rec
MOM'S APPLE PIE
makes one deep dish pie- preheat oven to 400º
6 large Granny Smith green apples
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 heaping tbsp. corn starch
pinch salt
1 level tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp butter
2 pie crusts
extra cinnamon and some sugar to sprinkle on top.
Peel, core and slice apples and put into a big bowl. Add the brown sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; mix and set aside. Layer pan with a pie crust and push down into bottom. Pile apple mix in shell. Cut butter into 4 pieces and dot apples with it. Wet the rim of the crust with a little water. Drape the second crust over the top. Seal the rim thoroughly and then flute it, pushing flutes towards the center of the pie so they don't droop when baking. Make slits in top of pie then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over top. Bake on a lipped cookie sheet for 10 minutes then turn down the heat to 350º and bake for about another 45 minutes. Poke apples with knife to see if they are done. If the top of the pie gets too brown, cover with aluminum foil to reflect the heat.

Cathy I made your apple pie a couple weeks ago and it was delicious. The only...
problem was that I neglected the step about poking the apples with a knife to see if they were done. They were thick slices and they weren't quite soft enough for my liking. Next time I'm going to slice them thinner AND check to see if they are done like you recommended. (That'll teach me to omit steps!) But the flavor was delicious and it's definitely a keeper.

glad to hear it, Mimi- yup- got to poke to make certain or you can have crunchy pie
Sometimes I slice apples thin, sometimes thick. Sometimes they are juicier than at other times so poking to check doneness is about the only way to tell for certain.
Another way to make sure is to saute the apples in butter (with the sugar and cinnamon) so they are about 1/3-1/2 cooked before putting them in the pie but I prefer to just bake until done.

this is one thing i do without a recipe! started adding a splash of rosewater to the apples, yum.
i slice them thick and toss with cinnamon, nutmeg, pinch of ginger, brown or white sugar (sometimes use vanilla sugar), and some lemon juice. and toss some coarse sugar on the top crust to lend a bit of a sparkly crunch. if the apples will cook down alot i'll toss them in some flour first.
