Adding a lattice crust to an apple pie elevates it to another level and makes the same old apple pie look even fancier.

Serves: 1 pie
Ingredients
  • 2 pie crusts
  • ⅓-2/3 c sugar (depending on how sweet your apples are)
  • ¼ c flour
  • ½ t cinnamon
  • ½ t nutmeg, freshly grated
  • Dash salt
  • 8 c thinly slices tart apples, about 8 medium
  • 2 T butter, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Roll out one pie crust and place in pie pan.
  3. Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  4. Stir in apples and pour into pie crust. If using butter, cut into small pieces and sprinkle over apples.
  5. Roll out the remaining pie crust and cut into ¼-1/2 inch strips. Weave the strips onto the top of the pie crust using a lattice pattern (see step by step above). Roll the bottom crust over the top of the crust and crimp the edges as desired.
  6. Cover the edges with a 2-3 inch strip of tinfoil.
  7. Bake 30-35 minutes, remove the tinfoil. Bake 15 minutes more until the juice from the apple bubbles up into the lattice groves.
  8. Cool 2 hours.
