MAKING THE PIE MIX
14 apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
10 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl, add the lemon juice, and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, stir together the sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this dry mixture over the apples and toss until all slices are evenly coated.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour the apple filling into two pie crusts and spread it out evenly. Dot the top with pieces of butter. Cover with the second pie crust and make slits in the top.
Seal the edges by pinching or crimping them together.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil during the last part of baking.
Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling to set fully and makes slicing cleaner and easier.
