\n- Directions for a pie crust here.<\/li>\n
- Preheat oven to 425\u00ba<\/li>\n
- Peel the apples, quarter and cut out core. Cut apples into 1\/8″ slices and place in a large bowl. Toss with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Let sit for 45 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Drain apples, reserving the liquid. Simmer liquid with butter over low heat, until it thickens.<\/li>\n
- Overlap apple slices starting from the outside of pie dish, spiraling towards the center – make sure you pack them tightly.<\/li>\n
- Pour half of the liquid over the apples, cover pie with foil, make steam vents with a knife and place on a baking sheet in oven for 30 or\u00a040 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Add apricot preserves to remaining apple liquid and stir over low heat until dissolved.<\/li>\n
- Take\u00a0pie from oven, remove the foil and brush with apricot preserve mixture, and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
