Cognac Apple Pie

This is a great one for Thanksgiving:

1 recipe for a 2-crust 9" pie
10 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup Cognac

"Soak" apples in Cognac while making and rolling out your pie crust. Drain off excess liquid. Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place in bottom crust of pie. Dot with a few pats of butter. Top off with top crust, seal edges and cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for the first 10-15 minutes or until the crust begins to brown. Turn oven down to 350-degrees and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes.

The Cognac really brings out extra flavor in the apples. It's fabulous!
