Ingredients:
5-6 large, tart apples (ie: Granny Smith) 1/2 cup sugar 4 tablespoons (1/2-stick) butter 1 pie crust
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 375°. While it's heating up, lightly grease a pie plate with butter. Sprinkle half the sugar into the plate, until the bottom is completely covered. Put the sugared pie plate in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and lightly browned. While the sugar is cooking, peel and slice the apples. Go for thin slices. Arrange the slices carefully in the first layer. This is going to be the top, so take your time. Then fill the plate with the rest of the apples. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar on the apples, then slice the butter and distribute it over the top. Bake for 15 minutes until the apples are soft. Put a cookie sheet under the pie in case it boils over. Cover with a pie crust, and pinch the edge so the filling is completely sealed in. Prick the crust with a fork to let steam out. Don't pinch the crust over the top of the edge like you do with a regular pie. Tuck the edges of the crust down inside the pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown, then cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes. Cover the pie with a dinner plate and flip it over. This is why you can't put the crust on top of the pie plate, the dinner plate will keep sliding around. Lift the pie plate off and let the pie sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
