Ingredients:

• 3 pounds cooking apples (Baldwin or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, thickly sliced (about 8 cups)  
• 1 cup sugar  
• 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour  
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon  
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger  
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg  
• Flaky Pastry (recipe elsewhere)
• 1 Tbsp. butter, cut into bits

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour and spices; toss to coat. Roll out one portion of pastry to a 14-inch round; use to line deep 9-in. pie plate. Fill with apple mixture. Dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to 12-in. round; with small cutters, cut out vent holes. Use pastry round to cover apple mixture. Seal and crimp edges. Place a sheet of foil on lower oven rack to catch drips. Place pie on middle rack; bake 60 to 70 minutes or until golden brown, covering edge with aluminum foil if pastry is browning too quickly. Cool completely on wire rack.
