I love apple picking in the fall. I am from Arizona and never had the chance to pick anything fresh from a farm or grove growing up. So I am as excited as my kids are about going to real apple orchards, strawberry fields, farms and pumpkin patches. I also love apple pie in the fall. This is a spice apple pie and it just tastes and feels like fall!
Apple Pie Recipe
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 T flour
3 Strong (decaf) Tea Bags
1 T lemon juice
butter (1/2 or whole stick)
4 cups peeled and sliced apples
Combine and mix well all the ingredients except the apples and butter. Cover the pie crust bottom with a thin layer of apples then sprinkle the dry mixture over them. Continue this till all ingredients are gone. Dot top with butter and then cover with pie crust - pinch edges and cut slits in the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Put and egg wash on top and then broil till brown.
Pie Crust (if you want to go all out)

3/4 cup butter crisco stick
5 or 8 T cold water
Sift flour and salt. Cut in shortening till pea sized crumbs. Add cold water slowly till all damp. Work dough with hands to form 2 balls. Place each in their own wax paper and refrigerated till cool. Roll out dough when ready to use.
