  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 TBSP flour
  • 6 TBSP cream (optional)
  • 1 TBSP butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts

In a mixing bowl, combine apples, cinnamon, sugar, flour, cream (if desired) and butter and mix well. Pour into pie crust; place second crust on top, flute edges to seal, prick top with a fork and brush with milk. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

Note: Pie may be frozen, baked or unbaked, for future use. Wrap in aluminum foil or place in frezer bags. Do not thaw unbaked pie before baking.
