     Title: French Apple Pie
Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Citrus
     Yield: 6 Servings

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
   1/3 c  Sugar
     2 tb Flour
     1 c  Milk
     3 lg Egg yolks
     1 tb Butter
   1/2 ts Vanilla extract
     2 lb Tart cooking apples
     1 tb Lemon juice
     2 tb Butter
     2 tb Sugar
       ds Nutmeg
   3/4 c  Apricot preserves
     1 lg Egg yolk

 Prepare crust and roll out 2/3rds of the pastry to form a 12
 inch circle. Use to line a 9 inch pie plate; refrigerate
 with rest of pastry.

 Make filling: In small saucepan combine 1/3 cup sugar and
 the flour; mix well. Stir in milk. Bring to boiling,
 stirring; reduce heat; simmer, stirring until slightly
 thickened - 1 minute. In a small bowl, beat 3 egg yolks
 slightly. Beat in a little of hot mixture; pour back into
 saucepan, beating to mix well. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter
 and the vanilla. Turn into bowl to cool.

 Core, pare, and slice apples; sprinkle with lemon juice. In
 medium skillet, heat butter with sugar and nutmeg. Add apple
 slices; saute, stirring occasionally, until partially cooked
 ~ about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Heat apricot preserves
 just until melted.

 Set oven @ 425ºF/220ºC.

 Turn filling into pie shell, spreading evenly. Arrange apple
 slices on top, mounding slightly in center. Spread with
 apricot preserves.

 Roll out rest of pastry to form a 10-inch circle. With knife
 or pastry wheel, cut into 12 strips 1/2" wide. Slightly
 moisten rim of pie shell with cold water.

 Arrange 6 strips across filling; press ends to rim of pie
 shell, trimming off ends if necessary. Arrange rest of
 strips at right angle to first strips, to form a lattice.
 Bring overhang of pastry up over ends of strips; crimp edge.
 Mix yolk with a tablespoon of water; use to brush lattice
 strips, not edge.

 On lowest shelf of oven, bake 35-40 minutes, or until pastry
 is golden. Cool.

 Serve slightly warm.
