Apple Pie

My sister wanted the recipe for this delicious apple pie I make:) It really is good and it is one of those recipes that will get your children to eat their fruits... my girls always stand next to me while I am peeling and slicing the apples and make off with as many pieces as they can before they get added to my bowl... that or they just pull up a chair and beg:)

Apple Pie
1 box (15 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (6 medium)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice

~Heat oven to 425°F. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.
~In large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; spoon into crust-lined pie plate. Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute. Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust. *I sprinkle the top of my crust with milk and then a cinnamon and sugar mixture.*
~Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
