- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Minute tapioca (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 pounds apples, chopped into 1-inch pieces (9-10 cups) – I use Granny Smith
- [a Tablespoon of milk + a Tablespoon of sugar for topping]
- Combine sugar, tapioca, and spices in a large bowl.
- Peel, quarter & core apples. Cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Stir apples into the tapioca mixture and place in prepared pie pan.
- Roll top pastry between floured wax paper and place on top. Trim or flute edges.
- Brush top with milk & sprinkle with sugar, avoiding the rim of the pastry.
- Poke about 12 slits in the top using a sharp knife. Cut out a 1/2-inch circle in the center to release steam. Place on baking sheet in case of spills.
- Cover the rim with a pie ring or foil. Bake for 50 minutes. Cool completely (about 3 hours).
