- 4 medium sized apples
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice off the tops of the apples and hollow out the flesh of the apple leaving about a 1/2 and inch on all the sides. Save the hollowed out flesh for the apple pie filling.
- Remove the seeds and core from the saved apple flesh and dice it.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water. In a small pot on stove, combine the diced apple flesh, cornstarch mixture, cinnamon and white sugar. Let cook for about 5 minutes or until the apples are soft and the syrup in brown and thick. This is your apple pie filling; spoon it into each hollowed out apple.
- Slice your pie crust into 1/2 inch wide strips that are just long enough to hang a little over the top of the filled apples. Weave your strips in a classic lattice formation. This will probably take about 3 strips in each direction, but use as many as you see fit.
- Brush the latticed pie crust with your egg wash and bake for about 20 or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are softened.
- Sprinkle a touch of powered sugar if desired.
- Enjoy!
