Homemade Apple Pie

Just typing the name makes my mouth water!  My husband LOVES apple pie and this is the easiest recipe. I got a lot of the Pillsbury Crusts on sale during the Triples sale a while back.  I froze a bunch and then make a few pies.  I think I might attempt another one this week, with ice cream…

Ingredients

• 2 Pie crusts (I just use refrigerated pie crust, be sure to let it sit out before you unroll it so it doesn’t break.)
• 6 cups apples (peeled, cored and thinly sliced) I recommend Granny Smith
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (sprinkle over apples after cut, to keep from browning)
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.
2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients; spoon into crust-lined pie plate. Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute. Cut 2 inch slits or shapes in several places in the top crust.
3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.After the first 15 minutes, cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
