Old-Fashioned Lattice-Top Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pie crusts (homemade or store bought)
• 6 cups thinly sliced and peeled tart apples
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 
2. Prepare the filling by mixing together sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in lemon juice. Add sliced apples and toss to mix.
3. Roll out half of the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the apple filling and dot with butter.
4. Roll out the second half of the pie crust and cut it into strips for the lattice top. Arrange the strips over the top of the pie in a criss-cross lattice pattern. Trim any excess crust from the edges of the dish.
5. Bake the pie for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Cover the edges with foil if they are browning too quickly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Whichever recipe you choose to follow, be sure to serve your apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the perfect finishing touch. Enjoy!
