NOTE: This recipe was taken form the small magazine called The Lutheran Digest. A few secrets before you start:

Do not double recipe. If you want two pies, make a second one.

Try to use Granny Smith apples as they have a better flavor for a cooking apple.

Use a deep dish pie plate: It does not run over as easily.
