My Bloody Apple... Pie

So Dragon says to me that he is craving Apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I look at him and ask is he is willing to go out of our zone again and try making some apple pies semi homemade? He was on board so when we went grocery shopping we picked up what we need and made a whole day of it on Sunday....the girls even got in on the action. It was so much fun and one day we will go even further out on our comfort zone and made .... homemade pie crust... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN.

The first Apple Pie I am going to share with you was named by my youngest spawn. It was the one I was most worried about cause it used candy pieces and I had no idea how they were going to melt and coat all these apple pieces,  BUT they did and Oh My Apple was it good.  I hope that even if you feel you are not a baker that you will go out of your comfort zone and try this pie because It is SO worth it!

Ingredients

6 - 8 medium apples, sliced

1/2 cup cinnamon imperial candies

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1  - 9 inch deep dish pie shell

1 -  refrigerated flat pie crust

2 tblsp butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°
2. If you are worried about a soggy bottom pie , like we were, you can prebake your empty pie crust in the oven for 10 min. I have also heard you can coat it with egg white to seal it while it prebakes.I did not do this and my pie was fine but wanted to help you achieve a NON soggy bottom too.
3. Peel and slice the apples and place in a bowl.
4. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and the flour to the apples. Mix gently.
5. Add half the apples to the pie crust and sprinkle half the cinnamon candies over the top of them. Repeat with remaining apples and candies.
6. Place a 1/2 tblsp of butter on top of apple and candies in each quarter section of your pie.
7. Gently cover the pie with your unrolled flat crust. Remember to cut a slit in the top crust for steam to escape.
8. Place pie on a baking sheet , YES it will weep gooey red stuff , and bake for 60 minutes. I started checking my pie at the 50 minute mark just to make sure my crust wasn't burning.
9. Place your pie on a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving.

ENJOY CAUSE IT IS NOM NOM NOM GOOD!
