Apple Pie - Use Two-Crust Pie

	Step 1. Peel and core the apples.

	Step 2. Slice the apples and fill the prepared shell.

	Step 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and nutmeg.

	Step 4. Sprinkle the sugar mixture on top of the apples in the shell.

	Step 5. Using your fingers, sprinkle a little bit of water around the edge of the crust. This will help the top crust adhere to the bottom crust.

	Step 6. Fold the top crust in half and carefully lay it on top of the apples. Fold it over to meet the opposite edge of the pie plate.

	Step 7. Fold the edge of the top crust under the bottom crust and crimp the edges. Cut four slits for vents.

	Step 8. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes and then turn the oven down to 325 degrees for 35 more minutes.
