Flat Apple Pie
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Dash of cinnamon
Lid full of vanilla, I use mexican vanilla
You can make your own pie crust or cheat like I did and buy it, the box that has two crusts.
6 tablespoons butter

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In large bowl, stir together the apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice and vanilla.

Lay your crust on baking sheet that is sprayed with pam. If you make your own crust then there is enough butter to keep it from sticking.

Place half the apple mixture on one crust and the other half on the other crust. Fold over the edges of each crust so that it covers 2 to 3 inches of the apple mixture. No need to be artistic - the more rustic the better. Dot the tops of the pies with chunks of the butter.

Bake until the filling is golden and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminium foil for the remaining baking time.


Allow to cool slightly, then slice into wedges with a pizza cutter.
