Ingredients

• 2 pounds granny smith apples
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Directions

1. Peel and slice apples thin. Toss with sugars, cinnamon, and flour. Set aside.
2. Roll pie crust dough to make slightly larger than 10-inch glass pie pan. Fit bottom crust in pie pan. Turn in apple mixture and dot with butter. Cut out little hearts and place decoratively on top of pie.
3. Wet hands with water and dampen top of pie. Sprinkle with additional sugar and make sure pie has ventilation spaces between hearts.
4. Bake for 15 minute at 450 degrees F, reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for about 45 minutes more, until crust is golden brown. It's a good practice to place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the pie under the pie plate to catch overflows. Also you should be watching your pie during the first 15 minutes and if you notice the crust turning golden quickly, place a thin strip of foil around edge of pie crust to prevent it from burning.
5. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
