Mama Dan's Southern Homemade Apple Pie

Apples lend fiber, vitamins, and minerals to the this dessert

Raisins provide a good source of iron

Preparation Time (20 minutes plus cooling)

Baking Time (35 to 40 minutes)

Tip from Mama Dan (When choosing apples for pies I like to use Golden Delicious)

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 cups of apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 cup dark raisins
2 unbaked, ready-made 9-inch piecrust
*For the Glaze
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 425. Place 9-inch Pie crust into deep dish pie plate.

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, lemon peel, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Mix Well

Add apples to sugar mixture; stir until coated. Stir in raisins. Spoon into prepared Pie crust.

Place piecrust on top of filling. Trim edges, pressing against edge of pan. Using a sharp knife, cut steam vents in piecrust. To glaze, lightly brush piecrust with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake until piecrust is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
