Apple Pie

If your apples lack tartness, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add sugar mixture to the sliced apples; toss to coat fruit.

Fill a pastry-lined 9-inch pie plate with apple mixture; dot with sliced butter. Adjust top crust onto the top of the pie, seal and flute edge. Brush with an egg white / water mixture and sprinkle with sugar if desired.

Bake at 375 degrees (F) for about an hour depending on the height of the pie. If the crust is over-browning, tent with foil. Cool and serve with cheddar cheese or ice cream if desired.
