Ingredients:
Pastry for 2 crusts 8 cups sliced, peeled baking apples 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter 1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions:
This recipe is one I found on the Moms Who Think website. I’m sure New Castle All Stars have smart moms, too. Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice. Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg with the apples and toss well again. Fill the bottom pie pastry with this mixture and dot with butter. Cover with the second pastry and cut vent slits in it. Crimp the edges shut. Beat together the egg yolk and milk, and brush this over the top pastry. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake another 40-45 minutes, until crust is a nice, golden color. There you have it: New Castle All Stars baseball, maybe some hot dogs and apple pie. It doesn’t get any better than that.
