Flat Apple Pie

This is another wonderful Pioneer Woman recipe. She says her family likes this because you can grab it on the go! It has more crust than a normal apple pie and next time I think I would add more apples and less filling. I used my canned apple pie filling and it was super good! We also just used the basic pie crust recipe from the betty crocker cook book! It was easy--you didn't even have to form it in a pie plate!
Flat Apple Pie
(from the Pioneer Woman cook book)
  • 5 peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples
  • 2 tblsp flour
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 recipe pie crust
  • 6 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together the apples, flour, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt. Set aside.

Roll out 2 pie crusts into large circles. Place the circles on large baking sheets. (She made 2 pies, we made one pie with 2 crusts) Place half the apple mixture on one crust and the other half on the other crust.

Fold over the edge of each crust so that it covers 2-3 inches of the apple mixture. Dot the tops of the pies with chunks of butter. (we didn't do this)

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the filling is golden and bubbly. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time. Allow to cool slightly and then cut into wedges!
