How to Make Grandma's Applesauce Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened (about 15-20 minutes).
Remove from heat and let the applesauce cool slightly.
Pour the cooled applesauce filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
