This easy-to-do recipe reminds us that apples need very little help to make a memorable pie. Apples are simply layered in the pie pan, with each layer sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Then they are topped with a crust and dabs of butter. And in less than an hour, this classic pie bakes to perfection.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch

PREPARATION:
Prepare your pastry for a two crust pie. Wipe, quarter, core, peel, and slice apples;

each layer with sugar and cinnamon. Dot top layer with small pieces of butter or
margarine. Cover with top crust.
