OH! Hell Yah! That just happened tonight! Apple pie! We cheated with the crust, and we're not sorry! One unexpected cold, rainy, spring night... now warm and cozy with fresh homemade apple pie! Cheating... let me explain...
Buying store bought prepared pie crust is totally cheating, and not beneath me one bit! This is one brand that is high quality and delivers tasty flaky crust to all us cheaters!
Now... this is so simple! I used 5 apples, 3 granny (green) and 2 fuji. Take 10 minutes out of your busy life and make a date with these apples... they will love you back I guarantee! I quarter, core, peel, and slice the apples right into the bowl.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar (to taste), 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 3 Tablespoons of flour and toss with those fresh apples! Lay them in the bottom crust and dot with butter... about 1-2 teaspoons.
Add the other crust on top. Use a tiny bit of water on your finger tips to dampen the bottom crust so it will seal with the top crust. Crimp, or pinch the top and bottom crust together to seal. Use a sharp knife to create slits in the top crust (allowing steam to escape)!
Now, cue kitchen gadget addiction. I have this little "pie cover" skirt kinda thingy. It covers the outer crust so it doesn't burn. If you don't have one (and who would??) use some foil and cover the crust while the pie cooks in a 425 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Juices will bubble from the slits and crust will be golden, and your house will smell like apple cinnamon heaven when done!
And... YEAH! That just happened! On a Wednesday!! Fresh apple pie, cheating is allowed! Make your peeps warm and cozy on a damp, cold night with apple pie!
Apple pie with vanilla frozen yogurt! Amen!
