Organic Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Peel and thinly slice apples and toss into a large bowl. Add flour, sugars, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well (for about 3 minutes).

Place one of your pie crusts into a 9-inch pie pan. Add the apple mixture into the pie shell (layering the apples makes it easier to cut and it looks nicer when cut—but it takes longer because you have to place one slice into the shell at a time in a circle pattern). When done, top with second pie crust. Make 4 slits in the top crust for steam.

Place a drip tray underneath the pie pan, because apple mixture may boil out of the pie towards the end and make a mess in the oven. Place the pie into the oven for 15 minutes at 425 F. After 15 minutes at 425 F, take the pie out of the oven and cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil (or a pie crust edge cover if you are lucky enough to have one of those!).

Turn the temperature down to 375 F and carefully place the pie back into the oven for 45 minutes. Take pie out of the oven and cool on the counter for 3-4 hours.
