Scrumptious Apple Pie

This was a post that we had posted a while ago- we got it from Mia&Jilly. With thanksgiving coming up fast- If you need to bring a pie- don't buy one make this one. You wont regret it! I have made it several times and plan on bringing it to our thanksgiving dinner. Its really the easiest pie ever to make!!!



Scrumptious Apple Pie. It's a cinch!

Does the thought of making a pie send you into involuntary convulsions or make you break into a cold sweat? Well I'm about to change your life....for reals. This is the easiest pie on the planet, and the best thing, it's absolutely delicious!

Crust:

1 1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

teaspoon salt

1/2 c. oil

2 Tablespoons cold milk

Mix together with your hands, and press into the bottom of a 9" pie plate.

Filling:

4 c. thinly sliced apples, peeled and cored. (I used a combo of Fuji and Granny Smith. Mixing two different varieties of apples in a pie always tastes better. My hint to you...actually mommy's hint to you.)

1 1/2 c. sugar 2 Tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix well and mound into crust. It will be really full. Don't worry, the apples cook down a bit and it will be perfect.

Topping:

1/2 c. flour

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 cube of butter

Mixture should resemble coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on top of the pie. Place pie in a brown paper grocery bag, that's right, just a regular brown, paper bag, then put the bag on a big cookie sheet.

Place in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Serve with whatever you like best.....a tall glass of milk, vanilla bean ice cream, or my personal favorite, heavy whipping cream.

*Note-As I put it in the oven, I realized the bag was a little too close to the heating element. Since I really wasn't in the mood for a kitchen fire, I pulled it back out and stapled the back down a bit. I would suggest you do the same, unless you look really cute and would like a friendly visit from your local fire fighters....
