Semi Homemade Apple pie

We bought apples at Costco.  Let's just say we got a lot of apples for 2 people.  I like to eat the apples with brie cheese every once in a while but that only took care of a few of them.   Needless to say we had a few apples leftover. 

Ingredients
4 medium apples cored and sliced thinly
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon (Tim likes more)
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tbs cornstarch
2 tbs butter

2 pre-made pie crusts

Combine apples and all spices and lemon juice and mix until apples are coated.  Separate apples from the juice that has formed reserving the juice for later. In a pie plate place one of the pie crusts on the bottom and press against the sides.  Spread apples evenly. 

In a small saucepan over medium heat combine butter, cornstarch and reserved juice and stir until all lumps are removed.  Once the mixture starts to thicken, pour it over the apples.  Cover the apples with the second pie crust.  Crimp the sides down with your fingers and cut the extra crust off.  Add a few vent holes. 
Cover the the rims of the crust with foil and bake for 375 for 50 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
