Golden Apple Pie with Rum Sauce
6 to 7 Golden Delicious apples
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt (optional)
¼ cup chopped nuts
Rum Sauce (see Dessert Sauces section)
Pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie
Peel, core and slice apples to equal 7 cups. In large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and nuts. Transfer apple mixture to pastry-lined pie plate. Arrange pastry strips in lattice pattern on top of apples and trim at edges; pinch edges of crusts together and flute.
Bake 20 minutes in a preheated 425 F oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 F. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender. If necessary, loosely cover top of pie with foil during baking to prevent overbrowning.
Meanwhile, prepare Rum Sauce. To serve, cool pie at least 20 minutes; slice and serve with sauce.
Makes 10 servings.
