All American Apple Pie
1/4 cup packed, light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
6 medium baking apples, peeled, cored
and thinly sliced
1 cup dark raisins
1 unbaked ready made 9 inch pie crust
FOR THE GLAZE
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9 inch pie plate
with vegetable cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine
brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, lemon peel, cinnamon
and nutmeg. Mix well. Add apples to sugar mixture; stir until coated.
Stir in raisins. Spoon into prepared plate. Place piecrust on top of
filling. Trim edges, pressing against edge of pan. Using a sharp knife,
cut steam vents in piecrust. To glaze, lightly brush piecrust with bean egg.
Sprinkle with sugar. Bake until piecrust is golden brown, about
35-40 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
Low Carb:
The carbs in this pie are already cut by having only one pie crust. You can
cut them either more, by substituting SPLENDA brand sugar substitute for
both the brown and granulated sugars.
