One Year my parents gave my wife and I several bags of apples from a local orchard. Most of them were Golden Delicious and we were instructed not to cook with these,"..they are for eating only.". When we arrived home my wife's Grandmother stopped by and spotted the bags of apples. She said "Would you like me to make a pie with those?". We instantly responded YES! The pie was incredible! So, here it is:

APPLE PIE RECIPE

5 or 6 apples

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg (optional)

1/2 stick of butter or margarine (optional)

2 TBSP flour (optional)

1 TBSP lemon juice

1 frozen pie crust

Peel and cut up apples into small pieces. Put apples in a bowl of water and lemon juice to keep from

turning brown and to keep fresh. In a separate bowl, mix sugars, flour, salt, cinnamon

and nutmeg. Add about half of the sugar mixture to the apples. Add softened margarine (optional).

Stir all together. Pour apples into frozen 9 inch pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately

1 1/4 hours. After the pie starts cooking for about 20 minutes add the rest of the sugar mixture and baste apples every 20 minutes.
