Angry Face New England* Apple Pie

Recipe for Angry Face
New England Apple Pie

9-INCH PIE PLATE and DOUGH (frozen)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon all spice
6 cups thinly sliced pared tart apples*
    (about 6 tart baking apples: http://www.newenglandapples.org)
2 tablespoons margarine (since I don't use butter I prefer the organic products)

Heat oven to 425°.  Prepare pastry or use frozen.  Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and all spice. Stir in apples and coat with mixture.  Turn into pastry-lined pie plate.  Dot with margarine.  Cover with top crust that has slits cut in it; seal and flute.  Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil to prevent excessive browning during last 15 minutes of baking.  Bake until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, 40 to 50 minutes. 6 servings per 9-inch pie  (This pie pictured came out with angry eyes.)
