Apple Pie!

I am now down to a little less than 2 boxes of apples!  Today I made more apple sauce and an apple pie.  I plan to try a couple of different recipes.  This one was good, but I am hoping for one that is a bit sweeter.  Here is the recipe and pics!

Grandma's Apple Pie
1 Package refrigerated piecrusts (size for 9 inch pie plate and should have two dough rolls)
5 large or 7 medium Granny Smith apples
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
milk and sugar for the top of pie

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place the piecrust in the 9 inch plate.
Peel and core apples cutting into 1/4 inch slices. Toss the slices in the lemon juice.  In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.  Add apple mixture and toss to coat. Spoon the apple mixture and any juices into the piecrust with the mound in the center.  Cut the butter into pieces and dot over the filling. Take the second piecrust and fold inhalf placing the fold on the center of the filling.  Unfold the crust.  Press the top and bottom together, and cut off overhanging crust.  Crimp the edge to seal, and cut vents on top.  Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the crust is slightly brown and the juices begin to bubble.  Let cool for 1 hour before slicing!
