Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (9 inch) prebaked deep dish pie shell
• 12 cups peeled and sliced apples
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1.5 cups apple juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Prepare pie: Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in apple juice and add to apples. Heat over medium heat until juice thickens and is translucent and apples are slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook.

Step 3

Mix flour and sugar for topping together in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender until combined. Spread over filling. Do not pack in.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned and apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Let set and cool completely before serving.

Step 5

Spoon apples into the pie crust using a slotted spoon (heap those apples in). Add juices until pie dish is full, but not overflowing, so it won't spill over.
