"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Halve, core, and peel the apples. Sprinkle flour in the bottom of unbaked crust and ½ c. sugar over the flour. Place the 4 apple halves, cut side down, at each position on a clock (noon, 3, 6, and 9), making sure they are not touching each other. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar and a light dusting of cinnamon over the apples. Fill the pie dish half full with water. Put a pat of butter onto each apple half. Bake at 350 ºF for 1 hour until you can flatten apples with a fork. Flatten them gently so you can submerge them in the syrup.

Personal Notes:
"This is a WEIRD recipe, but you will LOVE it. Jeff Pote's Mom once made a pie for a church "silent auction" that (since people had eaten and loved it in the past) sold for $50.00 for a rather small pie!" - Momma Nitchman
