• 12-inch pie crusts
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chopped peeled apples
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon butter

1. Heat oven to 400º F.
2. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the flour in large bowl. Stir in apples. The sugar-flour mixture 
 will not all stick to the apples; that’s OK.
3. Spread the apple mixture uniformly from the center of the dough circle to within 2 
 inches of edge. Fold edge of dough over apple mixture; crimp edge of dough slightly.
4. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples and dough.
5. Cut 1 tablespoon butter into 5 or 6 small pieces; spread on top of the apples.
6. Bake 27 to 32 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
7. Cut into wedges. Serve warm drizzled with caramel topping.
