Granny Smith Apples are crisp, juicy, and tart which makes them perfect for either baking in pies, stewed in sauces or eating out of hand.

The best all American apple pie Apple Pie does not get better than this. Reducing and concentrating the juices of the apples make it necessary to use only about half the usual amount of thickener, resulting in a more pure apple flavor, a juicy filling, and a crisp bottom crust.

PREP TIME 30 Min COOK TIME 45 Min READY IN 4Hrs yields 1 - 9 inch pie Servings 8 INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 6 medium baking apples (Granny Smith) 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and toss to mix.

In a small saucepan (preferably lined with a nonstick surface), over medium-high heat, boil down this liquid, with the butter, to about 1/3 cup (a little more if you started with more than 1/2 cup of liquid), or until syrupy and lightly caramelized. Swirl the liquid but do not stir it. transfer the apples to a bowl and toss them with the cornstarch until all traces of it have disappeared.

Meanwhile, transfer the apples to a bowl and toss them with the cornstarch until all traces of it have disappeared. Pour the syrup over the apples, tossing gently. (Do not be concerned if the liquid hardens on contact with the apples; it will dissolve during baking.) Transfer the apple mixture to the pie shell.
