How to Make Apple Pie 1

  1. Prepare your favorite pie crust (enough for a double-crust 9-inch pie).
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
  3. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups crushed saltine crackers, one at a time, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  5. Boil for exactly 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  7. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Pour the cooled filling into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Top with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal.
  10. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  11. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes.
  12. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
