[Sca-cooks] apple pie seasoning

Hmmm.  My recipe calls for cinnamon and nutmeg (and butter, lemon juice, sugar, and a little flour...) and is usually quite good.  Though I DID learn from experience; my very first pie was made using home-grown Golden Delicious apples and a LOT of cinnamon.  (It's OK, Carol, your Dad LOVES cinnamon.  Not about a quarter cup, he didn't!  But my next one was MUCH better...)
Must be the season.  Brings out the memories...
Regards,
Brekke

Still behind on the digests, so I've no idea if anyone else had
suggested this: what also works well in apple pies is nutmeg and just a
little black pepper. If you don't over-do the pepper, it adds an
interesting bite, but people can't tell what it is, because they're not
expecting it.
