How to Make Violet's Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces.
  5. If using a store-bought crust, gently roll it out and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  6. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
  7. If desired, top with a second crust, cut slits for ventilation, and crimp the edges.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
