Crust Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chilled butter, diced
2 egg yolks, beaten
Filling Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds Jonathan apples (peeled, cored and cut into 1/4 inch slices)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
2. Sift four, 1/2 cup sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in egg yolks (mixture will be crumbly). Remove 1/4 of mixture and set aside. Press the rest of the mixture onto the bottom and sides of an 8 inch pie pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Place apples into crust and sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top.
4. Place pie on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking 20 minutes or until top is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
