"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
2 lbs cooking apples, pared, cored and sliced (8 cups)
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch or 2 Tbsps flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions:
Heat oven to 425º F. Place apples in large bowl; mix sugars, cornstarch or flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl; sprinkle over apples; toss gently to mix. Let stand until a little juice forms, about 10 mins.
Meanwhile, roll out one pie crust on a lightly floured surface; fit into a 9" pie plate. Trim overhang to 1/2". Pile apple mixture into pastry, dot with butter. Moisten edge of bottom pastry with water. Roll out remaining pastry for top to a 12" round; carefully drape over filling. Trim overhang to 1", turn edges under and press together to seal. Flute decoratively. Cut vents in pastry with paring knife. For a crispy-sugary top, brush top of pastry with a little water or milk and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake 35-40 mins or until juices bubble through slits and apples are tender. If edge is browning too fast, cover with a narrow strip of foil. Cool completely or serve slightly warm.

Personal Notes:
I have tried so many apple pie recipes over the years. I like this one best, but with a crumb topping, from my mom's apple crisp recipe.
