Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled, sliced apples
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 stick butter or margarine, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 recipes double pie crust dough, homemade or store bought
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook the apples in the water, stirring to cook evenly, until just tender. Remove from heat and add the sugar, butter, flour, nutmeg, and lemon extract. Mix well. Roll out dough; reserve half for the top crust and use half to form a crust in the bottom of 2 (9-inch) pie pans; prick the crusts a few times with a fork and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Put the apple mixture on top of the baked crusts, dividing it evenly between the 2 pies. Place the top crust over the apples, seal the edges, and prick the crust a few times with a fork. Bake until the crust is brown, about 45 minutes. When cool, remove the pies from the pans and stack 1 on top of the other to make a double-stacked single pie.

I have not tried this yet, but it sounds just like the pies I remember from my childhood. Would you happen to have the crust recipe also? Another question, the pies I remember were much thinner than a regular pie - do you know if they were baked in a special pie pan? Thanks for any other info you can provide. I've been searching for this recipe and am so happy to have found yours!

My husband asked me to bake an apple pie like his mom made which was really an "applesauce" pie that she simply called "fruit pie".
I used this recipe but did not make it a stacked pie. The only problem I had was the flour would not dissolve, so the next time I added a little applesauce to the flour and mixed it before adding it which solved the problem.
My husband is estatic because it's like mom's apple pie, not the "city pie" with sliced apples!
