Apple Pie

Makes one 9-10 inch pie
2 crusts for a 9 inch plate
6-7 large (4 pounds) apples (firm & tart as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, cut into thin slices. This makes a very thick pie.
2/3 cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
optional: ½ cup raisins

Low sugar alternative: ¼ cup brown sugar and ½ cup Splenda

Preheat oven to 450º. Mix the dry ingredients together, sprinkle over the apples, and tumble to mix. Put one crust in pie plae, then put apple mixture in; cover with a top crust. Prick top crust with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes at 450º, reduce to 350º and bake an additional 50 min. Turn the pie around halfway through to equalize the baking front to back.
