Apple Pie from my own Tree!

This summer we bought a house across the river and moved into our own place. No more renting, yay!
I live in apple country but I've never had my own tree before. Our new house has two apple trees. The previous owner told me one was a pie apple (he couldn't remember which variety) and the other is a Cameo.
Once I thought the apples looked ripe enough my boys and I picked them all and I made pie.

Yes, I used all 12 apples in the pie. I like to make big apple pies. Also, I have two large glass dishes I use for pie that I got from Ikea ages ago that are able to fit all these apples. Even if I use a regular sized pie dish I really like to pile the filling high.

I did my crust a bit different this time. I made the top crust fit (by cutting it after draping it over the filing to fit) and then folded the bottom crust up and over. My husband loves crust and liked it but I thought it was a little thick... I then sprinkled the crust with milk and brown sugar.

These babies take a while in the oven to bake. I baked it at 350 and I think it was in there a total of 1 hour and 30 to 45 min. I just bake it until a knife inserted through a slit at the top goes in smoothly. You can feel the doneness of the apples by poking at them with the knife.

Whatever kind of apples these are they tasted fantastic!
