I use a dozen apples, almost always a mix of different apple types. 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 2T cinnamon, zest of a lemon, and a nice dash of brandy. A very nice dash of brandy. Toss it together, and put it into the bottom crust, dot with butter, and cover with the top crust. When you smell sugar burning on the bottom of the oven, it's usually done.
I have a few slices left over...want one? We're both up at the same time, anyway..and I get the idea you pass by here on your way to work....
