Ingredients:

• 8-10 tart apples (cortland/spy/crispin)
• Prepared pastry 
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup of MyOlive Gala Apple dark balsamic vinegar (can use Maple balsamic for sweeter)
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup of mild fruity MyOlive EVOO

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 425.

Peel, core and slice apples (kind of thinly but not too thin so they have some substance to them).

Roll out half the pastry and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle the flour over the pastry and toss in the apples.

Place the sugar in a small saucepan with the balsamic, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high 

heat for 30 seconds and then remove from the heat.

Whisk in the olive oil and slowly pour the mixture over the apples, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Roll out the top crust, place it over the apples, and seal the edges. Pierce the crust with a fork to allow

steam to escape while cooking.

Bake at 425 (f) for 15 minutes and the turn down the temperature to 375 (f) and bake for an additional 45 minutes until the

crust is brown and the apples are soft.

Let cool completely before serving (at least 3 hours) 

Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
