The Best Apple Pie

This is my Mom's recipe. The. Best. Ever. 

Jan's Apple Pie 

1 Pillsbury Pie Crust (yes, brand is important!)

5 or 6 Macintosh Apples 

1 Stick Butter

1 Cup Flour

1 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon 

1 Teaspoon Allspice (this is the "fall" taste, and so amazing!)

3 Tablespoons Sugar

Peel the apples, and cut into the thinnest slices you can manage (if you can see through the slice, you're really good at this!). Fill the bottom pie crust with apples. Combine white sugar, allspice, and cinnamon. Shake spice mixture over the apples evenly. Cut together (using a knife or pastry cutter) the stick of butter (straight out of the fridge, don't use soft butter) flour and brown sugar. This is the hardest part and takes a while. When your chunks of butter are around the size of your pinky fingernail or smaller, you're done. Pile the butter mixture onto the apples. Cover with top pie crust and cut slits into the top. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
