Blue Ribbon Apple Pie

Ready made crust or your favorite pie crust
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
6 c. peeled, cored, sliced tart apples
1 Tbls. butter
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. whipping cream (secret ingredient)

In large bowl combine all filling ingredients except apples, 1 tbls. butter, 1 tsp. sugar, and whipping cream. Add apples. Toss lightly to coat. Pour into prepared crust. Place top crust over pie and flute the edges. Cut 8 large slits in the crust. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tsp. sugar. Cover edge of crust with 2" strip of aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10-20 more minutes until crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through the slits. Remove from oven; run knife through slits to open. Pour whipping cream evenly through all slits. Return to oven for 5-10 more minutes. Cool for 30 minutes; serve warm.

This really did win me a blue ribbon at a bake-off! It is the BEST apple pie I have ever eaten. The secret is the whipping cream.
