Best Apple Pie ever!!!

Dear readers, I am so sorry I haven't posted in two weeks! I have plenty of excuses, but I won't dare make light of my neglect. I am sure I have lost all my faithful readers. But, if any of you remain, I shall reward your steadfastness with the following recipe for THE BEST apple pie I have ever had. 

Oh, the lattice crust! The crispy, buttery, cinnamony, nutmegy, brown sugary lattice crust! But it gets better (or at least, comparable), beneath the crust lies a rich, almost custardy, apple filling.

You're ready for the recipe aren't you? Well you're going to have to wait. First come the progress pictures!

Pro-tip: If you have a food processor with a slicing blade, use it to slice peeled, cored apples for apple pie! It works perfectly, and is a lot quicker than cutting each apple into thin slices by hand.

see?

Once you slice the apples, put them directly into your pie crust (I used a store-bought crust, as usual). You heard me right! Put the apples straight into the pie crust! No seasoning or anything! Then you top it with a lattice crust, like so.

I used this tutorial, very helpful! Then, in a saucepan you melt butter and add some flour,  white sugar and brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer. Next, pour the mixture on top of the crust slowly so it drips through the spaces onto the apples. 

Put the pie in a 350 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes, and serve!
