Apple Pie (10 inch pie):
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (this can be adjusted down to taste)
2 teaspoons cinnamon (this can be adjusted down to taste)
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons butter
8ish cups apples, about 7-8 medium sized (I find using more than one kind of apple makes a nicer pie. Sometimes I even use a granny smith in with it for some kick. Generally I like macs, empires or cortland(if available).
Directions:
Mix both sugars, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
