This pie won grand champion in the Apple Pie category at the 1992 Okanogan County Fair. The pie looks traditional, but homemade filling gives it a different flair and terrific taste. —Dolores Scholz, Tonasket, Washington

Ingredients

6 cups sliced peeled tart apples (about 5 to 6 medium)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dough for double-crust pie

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine apples, water and lemon juice; cook over medium-low heat just until apples are tender. Remove from the heat and cool (do not drain).
Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt; add apples and toss to coat. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough into a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add apple mixture. Roll remaining dough into a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until golden brown, 35-45 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

Dough for double-crust pie

Combine 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp. salt; cut in 1 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 1/3 to 2/3 cup ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
