Ingredients

Pie Crust

Apple Filling

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Oil a 6" pie plate (or baking dish of a similar size) and set aside.
  2. Process all pie crust ingredients in a food processor until combined into a dough. Gather the dough and form into a ball, kneading it lightly. Divide this dough in half, and roll each half into a ball. Take one of the balls and flatten it into a disk with your hands. Place into the prepared pie plate and press and shape it down into a pie shell with your hands, covering the base and sides of the dish with the dough. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the pie filling by mixing all ingredients together with a fork in a small bowl. Transfer this mixture into the prepared pie crust, and smooth it out into an even layer.
  4. Place the remaining half of the crust dough in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out roughly into a circle roughly the size of the pie plate diameter at the top. Press lightly around the edges with your fingers to make the edge of the pie walls and top meet. Use an apple shaped cookie cutter (or another shape) to carefully cut a hole in the center of the top crust. Lastly seal the edge more fully by pressing them down with a fork going all the way around.
  5. Bake in a pre-heated oven for approximately 35-45 minutes (until the edges are nice and golden and the filling bubbles and sets. Cool off on a wire rack, and enjoy!*

Notes

*Note: a hot pie will always be a little runny when sliced. The pie filling will firm up as it cools off completely.
