"Auburn" Apple Pie

I guess with being gone so much, I am really in the mood for cooking. This past weekend, I downloaded a Food Network app on my iPhone, and used a Bobby Flay apple pie recipe.
It calls for;
- 5 apples
- 3/4 cup fine sugar
- 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon

*He does give directions to make the crust from scratch, but for me it's easier and cheaper to go with Pillsbury.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel, core, and slice apples. Mix apples slices with sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Place apple mixture in pie shell. Place second pie crust on top and form to the edges of the pie plate. Cut slits in the top crust to allow for steam to release in oven. Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, until pie is fully baked and apples are tender.
*For the slits, I did the AU for Auburn. I wanted to have some fun!

  1. Brit, to make it even better -- add 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the cinnamon. Before putting the top cover on, dot with 2 T. butter and sprinkle 2 T. Half & Half over it. Then you'll have an apple pie just like the ones my family enjoys!
