Pastry for a double 8 or 9-inch pie
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
4 Golden Delicious apples
1 cup boiling water
Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
Core and peel apples and set aside. Divide pastry into 4 portions, roll each into an 8-inch circle, and place an apple in the middle of each. Fill centers with a mixture of 1/4 cup brown sugar with 1 tablespoon butter. Gather the pastry circle up and around each apple, pressing to close tightly. Place a little apart in an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and surround with a syrup made by stirring the remaining brown sugar and butter with boiling water. Season to taste with cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, basting once or twice.
