Preparation / Directions:
Use a tart apple. The best apple to use is Gravenstein. If not available, use Granny Smith or other tart apple. You may want to use a little more sugar if using tart apples like Granny Smith that don't have the sweetness of Gravenstein. If you do not use tart apples, or if the apples are bland and/or lacking in flavor, sprinkle the sliced apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with pie dough. Preheat the oven to 450F. Pare, core and thinly slice 6 cups fresh or frozen apples Combine and sift over the apples:
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoon Minute Tapioca
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Stir the apples gently until they are well coated. Place them in layers in the pie shell. Dot with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter Cover the pie with a pricked upper crust. Brush the top of the pie crust with milk. Sprinkle with white sugar before baking. Bake in a 450F oven until done, 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown
