Does anyone have a recipe for apple pie/recommend what type of apples to use?

I like a variety of apples too. Granny Smith has a nice tart flavor, golden delicious hold their shape and taste sweet, macintosh melts down nicely and makes a sweet syrup in the pie and I always put in some other apples as well. When I lived in NY I lived near apple orchards and they always mixed the apples in their pies and the smell was so good. I always made my own pie after picking apples at the orchard. It reminds me of my favorite memories.

we have an Arkansas Black apple tree that produces ALOT of apples... so I use them for my pies.. Nice and crisp and sweet..
Arkansas Blacks ( enough peeled, cored and sliced to fit 9inch pie pan)
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/8 cup of corn starch
mix all together except the butter.. till slices are coated.. pour in pie crust.. cut butter in small pieced and drop randomly on apples.. cover with top of pie crust.. pinch edges shut & make slits in crust for steam ventilation..sprinkle pie crust with a lil bit of sugar crystals... Cover edges with foil to prevent from over browning.. bake at 375 for 15min then turn down oven to 350 and cook for another 30 min. remove foil and bake another 15 min... Allow to cool for at least 20 min before slicing..
YUM YUM...

I use whatever apples I have in the fridge, just adjust the sugar amount accordingly. A sweet apple needs a bit less sugar. I do think that a mixture of 2 or 3 kinds of apples makes the tastiest pie. My DH loves a piece of old cheddar on top too, I like mine plain.
