Marni's apple pie is actually her grandmother, Mildred Mead's recipe and it is by far my favorite apple pie. I also think it was one of the first pies I learned how to make. I was craving it over the past couple of weeks so I emailed Marni (a very close family friend) for the recipe and she was kind enough to send it to me. It is so simple to make and delicious so I thought I'd share it.
Ingredients:
1/2 c. softened butter
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 c. all purpose flour
8-10 McIntosh Apples
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350º. Butter a 9in. pie pan and set aside (I use the wrapping from the butter used in the topping)
Peel and thinly slice your apples and layer them into your pie pan, between each layer sprinkle generously some of your sugar mixture until you have a heaping pile of apples and no more sugar.
Cream butter and brown sugar together, gradually add flour.
Take small amounts of mixture and pat into thin circles (approx. 3 in.) layer the circles over your apples until completely covered.
Bake at 350º for 40 minutes, then enjoy! Since there is no true crust on this pie, I recommend placing a baking sheet under your pie to catch any drips.
