Cinnamon Apple Pie

Ingredients

Filling

• 4 large Green Apples; peeled, cored, & diced
• Pie crust (you can find our recipe here)
• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1-2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbs cornstarch

Topping

• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 3/4 cup Flour
• 1/3 cup Butter; softened
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450° if you made your own pie crust; if using store bought then preheat oven to 350°. Grease 9-inch pie plate. We use this recipe.
2. Put apple cubes in a large bowl and add the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the apples are fully coated and then set aside.
3. Put the butter in a medium-sized bowl and add the sugar.
4. Sift the flour and cinnamon into the butter and sugar. Stir until crumbly.
5. Sprinkle cornstarch over apples and stir to combine.
6. Pour apple filling into pie plate and cover evenly with crumbs*
7. If using homemade pie crust: you want to put it in your pie plate and bake at 450° for 10 minutes then turn the oven down to 350° and follow step 8. If using store bought pie crust: put the crust in your pie plate; don’t prebake.
8. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until the edges look golden brown.

* If I have left over pie crust I’ll sometimes cut that and use it on top of my pie over top of the crumb filling. You can make a design or do the standard lattice.
