It looks gorgeousIi! I am curious how Kenji's "Perfect Apple Pie" translated from Golden Delicious to Northern Spy apples. I must say that I was disappointed when K decided to punt on the subject of making apple pie when the apples are less than perfect and a bit past their prime season.

Back in the '50's, you could get head in a pan.

Jim, my bad, I left out the word "crust" in my post. I used Kenji's crust but the filling from a Canadian living recipe which calls for spys. that's the only apple I put in a pie given a choice.

Poor Jan in the Pan, she later became a spokeshead for making seat belts mandatory.

How much sugar do you use in a pie made exclusively with Northern Spy apples? My Spies are very tart and I undersweetened my pie even though I had a couple sweet apples to balance the Northern Spies.

I'm not Jean, but when I lived in NY I made pies from Spies exclusively all the time. For a pie with about 7-9 apples I'd add 1/2 cup sugar. But, I don't like sweet too much in an apple pie.

Amy is spot on. The filling recipe is: 8 cups thinly peeled tart apples (2 1/4 lb) 2 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 cup sugar 3 tbsp. ap flour 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Brush the top with egg yolk/water and sprinkle with sugar.
They have a suggested cran-apple filling with 2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen) with 6 cups apple, increasing flour to 1/4 cup , omitting the lemon juice and subbing half of the cinnamon for nutmeg. I might try that one next
