INGREDIENTS

5	c	Apples (tart); (note below) peeled and thinly sliced
1	c	Brown sugar; firmly packed
1/4	c	Water
1	tb	Lemon juice
1/4	c	All-purpose flour
2	tb	Granulated sugar
1/2	ts	Salt
1	ts	Vanilla
3	tb	Butter or margarine
2		Pie crust shells (9"); unbaked

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together the apples, brown sugar water and lemon juice in a 2-quart
saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 7-8 minutes or
JUST until apples are tender.
Mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt; stir into apple mixture.
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir
1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla and butter or margarine;
cool.
Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Prepare pastry (or use store-bought). Turn
apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover with top crust in which
you've cut slits; flute the edges. Cover edge of pie crust with foil (or
cut out an aluminum pan--keeping just the edge) to prevent excessive
browning; remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 40-45
minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Note: I've found that ANY recipe calling for tart apples, you get more
flavor by mixing the types of apples. As we have an abundance of varied
apples,
Fuji's, Granny Smith and Gala's...they all vary in flavor, texture, etc.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
