	Preheat oven to 425º F. Peel, core, and slice apples in 1/2" to 3/4" thick slices and place in a large bowl. Mix cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and nutmeg together and sprinkle over the apples. Place 1 crust in bottom of pie tin, overlapping the edges of pie tin. Pour sliced apples mixture on crust. Dot apple mixture with butter. Cover apples with remaining crust. Crimp the top crust to the bottom crust. Cut approximately 6 slits in top crust. To prevent crimped crust from over browning, cover crimped edges with aluminum foil. Place pie pan on cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden in color and apples are soft. Serve warm or cold with your favorite topping. Note: To dot with butter, cut butter into small pieces and sprinkle over pie filling.	2
