Apple Pie
Ingredients:

- 6-7 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie dish and dot with butter.
- Roll out the remaining pie crust and place it over the top of the apples. Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool before serving.
