  2. core and peel the apples
  3. slice them thinly
  4. mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg
  5. add to the apples and mix or toss or somehow move around to make sure they are all equally coated

  7. heap in your apple mixture. pile it high!
  8. cover this with the second pie crust
  9. pinch the sides together and make slits in the top for air vents

  1. Yum! My apple pie never looks this good. I mean, it tastes great, but I have a lot of trouble making it pretty like yours! This recipe looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!

    I don’t think I’d ever be brave enough to bake something so classic for a gathering. The bar is too high! I like to stick with the slightly unexpected so people are impressed by my ingenuity.

    Here, eat these Christmas kale chips.
