Easy Apple Pie

We have an organic apple tree in the yard. It is organic because since we moved in 3++ years ago, we have never done a thing with it and every fall there are hundreds of red apples ready to be picked. To go with our Roast dinner, I baked a pie using frozen pie crust. Boy, if I thought the roast was easy, the apple pie was a piece of cake!


Thaw 2 frozen pie crusts.



Peel and chop 12 small apples. (squeeze some lemon juice onto the apples so that they do not brown)



Mix 3/4 sugar, 2 tbsp corn starch, lots of cinnamon. Toss apples and dry mix together.



Pour into shell, put in 8 small dollops of butter onto the apple batter.



Moisten edges of pie and put the other pie crust on top, pinch the sides together.

Cut a few slices into the pie, brush with egg, sprinkle with a liberal amount of coarse sugar.



Bake 350 about 4o minutes. Serve with ice cream.

Yumm!!

You mean I can actually do something with my apples instead of just rake them into the compost pile? Too bad my husband doesn't like apple pie. :(

Does anyone notice that the pie looks like it is hanging on the wall????
