Apple Slices


Depending on how much time you have - you can make your own crust, or use the Pillsbury pie crust that comes in a 2-pack. I was in a hurry and happen to have the Pillbury in my fridge, I just rolled it out a little thinner with a little flour and made it the size of my pan. Even though I prefer homeade crust (click here for a good recipe), it worked great. This is a MUST for Fall apple season!

Apple Slices

2 pack Pillsbury crust, unrolled and rolled out with a little flour
12 (more or less) apples - I mix macintosh and jonathon
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 T. flour
1 t. cinnamon
4 T. butter, soft
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Milk or apple juice/cider

Peel, core and slice the apples and mix with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 t. salt. Stir occasionally and let sit for about 1/2 hour until juicy.

In the meantime, roll out pie crust with a little flour (try not to handle a lot), and place in a rimmed baking sheet.

Sprinkle flour and cinnamon over apples and stir to combine. Pour into pie crust - you want the pan to be FULL. Dot the top with 2 T. butter cut in little pieces. Top apples with other pie crust and seal the edges with a fork. Pierce top of crust with fork a few times. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool.

Whisk together 2 T. butter, powdered sugar, and milk or apple juice/cider (a tablespoon at a time) until you have a drizzling consistancy. Drizzle over cooled slices. I like to keep these in the refrigerator.
