Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie

• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 pie crust.

Step 2

Combine sugar, tea, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.

Step 3

Spread a layer of apples over the pie crust. Sprinkle some of the sugar mixture on top. Repeat layers until the pie plate is full.

Step 4

Dot butter over the apples. Cover with second pie crust. Press edges together to seal; trim any excess. Poke holes in the top with a fork so steam can escape.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
