Apple Cream Pie

I used James Beards recipe for Marlborough Pie with apples from my sister's tree.  When it cools, it goes into the freezer until Thanksgiving.

3 C. finely chopped peeled cored apples
1 T lemon juice
2 eggs
1 C. evaporated milk
3/4 C. sugar
2 to 3 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Unbaked pastry  for two pie crusts... Because I did a weave,  I needed three pie crusts.

Prepare apples, sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix all other ingredients, beating well and pour over apples. Place in bottom pie shell top with meringue, pie shell or leave open.  Bake 450º 15 minutes, lower oven to 325º about 30 minutes longer.  If pie is left with only bottom crust, meringue is added when cool and browned in the oven.
