Spice Sherry Apple Pie

½ cup Sherry
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
1 Tablespoon flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
7 apples, peeled and sliced.

Dough for 2 crusts—9 inch pie pan.

Combine the sherry, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt and sugar in a saucepan. Mix until smooth and well blended. Add the apples and toss so they are coated with the spice mixture. Put on medium heat and cook until the mixture boils. Stir and let boil for one minute. Cover and remove from the heat. Let cool to room temp.

Pile the apple mixture into the dough-lined pie pan. Place the top crust over the filling and crimp edges.

Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Reduce heat to 325 and bake for 45 minutes more.
