1/2 C butter

1/2 t salt

3-4 T cold water

Filling

Pastry for 2 pie crusts

6 large tart apples

2 T flour

1/2 C sugar

1/2 C brown sugar

3/4 t cinnamon

1/4 t nutmeg

1/8 t ginger

1/8 t salt

1 T lemon juice

3 T butter

Peel and slice apples.  Add apples and 1/4 C cold water into a sauce pan and simmer until apples are tender, about 5 minutes.  Cool.  Drain all liquid off well.  Fill pastry lined pie pan with apples.  Combine remaining ingredients except butter.  Sprinkle over apples.  Dot with butter.  Add top crust, be sure to cut vent holes.

Wrap foil around crust edges.  Bake at 450° for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake for 45 more minutes.  You may want to place a baking sheet underneath the pie while it's cooking to catch any drippings.
