The Best Apple Pie

My baking apples stacked up and I attempted my hand at an apple pie. It's been declared by our head-of-house, "It the best apple pie I've EVER had!"

AND it was so easy and simple.

First, invest in Marie Calendar's frozen pie crusts. They're vegan and delicious. I never mastered pie crust making, nor did I enjoy eating one, but this was enjoyable to prep and eat. two come packaged together. Thaw one crust while you prepare the filling:

5 large baking apples (Granny Smith is best) peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. freshly grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425. Mix together the filling ingredients. Pour into the second, frozen crust. Cover the pie with the thawed crust. Crimp edges and bake for 10 minutes. Lower temp to 350 and bake for 45 minutes. The pie comes out perfect, no burnt crusts.

Top with coconut cream

Coconut cream: open a can of Thai coconut milk, scoop out all the cream and whip it up with powdered sugar to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate for firmer cream.
