Apple Pie Filling

My childhood memories are filled with days on my grandparent's farm.  We learned all kinds of valuable life lessons from those days.  One of my favorite memories is sitting on the front porch with my grandma, peeling apples and peaches or pitting cherries, getting ready to make batches and batches of homemade pie fillings.  I can remember opening her chest freezer in the basement and just seeing a wall of ziploc bags full of different fruit pie fillings.  Here is her recipe for apple pie filling.

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup flour

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. cinnamon

dash of salt

6-8 cups of apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together, except butter.  Place 1 Grandma's Pie Crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Add filling to crust.  Dot filling with 4-5 pats of butter.  Add second crust to top of filling, making 6 slits in the top to allow steam to escape. (Or top with Crumb Topping.)  Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crust/topping is golden brown.
