Deep Dish Apple Pie

It was a miserable day yesterday - rain, damp and muddy. So what's the best way to brighten a day like that???  Make a deep dish apple pie!

Hubby peeled the apples (I hate that job and he ALWAYS volunteers if the result of his effort is going to be a pie).

The filling mix: sliced apples, sugar, ground Saigon cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.

Your standard pie crust from scratch. (I only use Butter Flavored Crisco)

 After mixing:

Rolling out the bottom layer:

 Poured in the apple filling:

 Rolled out the top layer:

Brushed the top with one of Lucy's eggs and sprinkled with cinnamon:

Popped 'er in the oven for an hour or so...and viola!!

The aroma that filled the house was just pure heaven! 

And the taste? 

 Indescribably delicious! Mmmmmm!
