When I read your post, I recalled my own mother's method. She made her
own crust from scratch and it was amazing. As far as the filling went, as I
recall (and I cannot be sure as I was more interested in microscopes and
chemistry sets and tadpoles at the time!) she used fresh apples, sugar,
cinnamon, and dabs of real butter. She just layered sliced fresh apples,
a liberal sprinkling of sugar and cinnamon, and some butter slices in the
unbaked pie crust. Then she did the latticework crust on top. The
filling mixed together and made a lovely juicy filling. It was simple, and I
recall mimicking her filling by making a kind a tart using Bisquick as a
little
girl, with my older sister who actually did watch Mama cook.
