Whiskey Apple Pie

1 Basic 9" Double Pie Crust (unbaked)

6 or 7 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (1/4 - 1/3 inch thick)

1/3 cup sugar

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup bourbon whiskey

2 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a saucepan, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Add the bourbon and lemon juice, and whisk until evenly blended.

Cook over medium-high heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly.

Add the apples and stir and toss them until evenly coated with the mixture.

Set aside for about 20 minutes, stirring twice.

Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.

Cover with top crust and seal the edges. Cut several steam vents.

Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake an additional 45 minutes.
