Cheater Apple Pie

I am yet to master the fine art of making pastry so until I do I have discovered a shortcut to making the "perfect pastry". Pillsbury now offers ready to use, unroll-and-fill pie crusts making it easy to make perfect pie in a pinch. This recipe features Grandpa's homegrown Okanagan apples!

• Pillsbury double-crust pastry
• 6 cups peeled, sliced cooking apples
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  

1. Preheat oven to 450°.
   
2. Place one pastry crust inside a 9-inch pieplate; set aside.
3. Combine apple and lemon juice in a large bowl. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and next 4 ingredients, mixing well. Spoon over apple mixture, tossing gently. Spoon filling evenly into pastry shell, and dot with butter.
4. Place the second pastry crust on top of pie. Trim off excess pastry along edges. Fold edges under and crimp with a fork.
5. Cut three slits in top of crust for steam to escape.
6. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°, and bake 50 more minutes.
7. Let pie cool for 1 hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
