 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare bottom crust and settle into 9"-pie plate.
  Peel and slice apples. Mix together 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of granulated
  sugar; pour evenly into bottom pie crust. Arrange apples to form a nice heap.

 NOTES : I like a full pie and tend to use 10 apples instead of the 8, they cook
  down alot. Also place foil on edges of crust before baking - be sure to remove
  during last 15 minutes of baking to ensure browning.
 This recipe was handed down from Grandma Riel and without being biased is still
  the best apple pie I have tasted. Very rich!! :)
