Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• Pie crust
  
• 4-5 tart apples
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
• Lemon
  
• Butter
• 1 egg
  

Peel and slice the apples. Set in a bowl of water with juice from half a lemon to prevent the first apples cut from turning.

In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and vinegar. (Should resemble wet sand.) Drain apples and add to bowl. Turn to coat apples in sugar mixture.

Heap apples into the pie crust. Place about 4-6 slices of butter on top of the apples. Place top crust over the apples and pinch the edges together using fingers or the back of a knife.

Cover the edges with strips of tinfoil to prevent crust from burning.

Bake at 400° F for 50-60 minutes on center rack. Place a cookie sheet covered in tinfoil on the lowest rack (not on the same rack as the pie) to catch drips.

10 minutes before the pie is done, remove foil from crust and brush with egg whites.
