3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup Equal® Spoonful*
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 cups peeled, cored, sliced Granny Smith or other baking
apples (about 8 medium)
- Roll 1/2 the pastry on floured surface
into circle 1-inch larger than inverted 9-inch pie plate. Ease
pastry into plate.
- Combine cornstarch, Equal®, cinnamon,
nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle over apples in large bowl and toss
to coat. Arrange apples in pie crust.
- Roll remaining pastry into circle large
enough to fit top of pie. Place over apples. Seal edges, trim
and flute. Cut a few slits in top of pastry to allow steam to
escape. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 40 to 50 minutes or
until crust is golden and apples are tender.
- Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
