Apple Pie

Pastry

The following recipe is for apple pie, but can be used for other fruit as well. The amount of sugar you use may depend on the tartness of the fruit and your own taste.

- 5 cups of peeled sliced apples
- 3/4 - 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix the apples, sugar and cinnamon together and place in a pastry lined pie plate. Cover with the top crust, press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, and "flute" so that the edges are away from the plate. (This is so the edges do not burn.) Slash the top crust with a knife to allow steam to escape. Bake at 450F for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
