Classic Spiced Apple Pie

Recipe: Betty Crocker
This was my first attempt at making any pie, and let me say: it was interesting. I won't go into specifics, but the important thing is it turned out fantastic. If you use the frozen store-bought pie crusts it cuts down on so much time and effort. Note: apples = cheap, frozen pie crust = cheap, and the other ingredients are usually kept on hand anyways. Enjoy a la mode!

Ingredients:
5 granny smith green apples
1 package of 9 inch frozen pie crusts (usually comes with 2 in a pack)
1 Tbs cinnamon
1/4 nutmeg
1/4 pumpkin or allspice
1 1/4 sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 all-purpose flour
2 Tbs butter

what to do:
1. preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. peel and thinly slice apples
3. in a large bowl mix the sugar, spices, salt, flour
4. add in the apples and coat with mixture
5. unwrap the 2 pie crusts, and cut off the the top edge of one (that will be the top)
6. dump the apples into the other pie crust
7. cube 1 Tbs of butter and sprinkly over the apples
8. place the edgeless pie crust upside down over the apples and let thaw for a few mins until able to mold
9. squeeze the edges of the two pie crusts together to form a seal, and then go over the seal with a fork, pressing down to form marks around the edges
10. melt the remaining butter and brush over the top of the pie
11. (optional) sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar over top
12. bake for 40-50 mins
